Speaker 2: be absolute jam pack show tonight. So much to say,

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: it's so little time. March Madness is here. And in

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: case you missed it, the first round was historically chalky.

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Even our most casual college basketball fans are looking at

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: their brackets and saying, wow, I'm doing really well this year.

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: The good news is if you pick mostly chalk for

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: your bracket, you didn't have to worry about too many upsets.

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Alabama State, I'm Saint Mary's,

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Xavier all lost. What does that mean? Mark's

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: just the second time a first four team did advance

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: past the first round since the tournament expanded in twenty eleven.

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, twelve in the last thirteen

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: years Prior to this season, at least one first four

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: team got to the Sweet sixteen. Oh did I mention

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: that on Thursday and Friday, double digit underdogs were oh

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: and thirteen, five and eight against the number. Not a

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: single double digit dog one and on Thursday or Friday,

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: first time that's happened in six years. But that's just

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: small potatoes compared to the stuff we really need to

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: get to. He ash for it. You got it, Patino

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: versus Calipari. Sure I wanted it. I'm Italian too, I'm

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: a wop one hundred percent calibrace. And that to me

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: was probably the game of the day, not only for

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: what happened on the floor, but for a side story

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: that I don't think is gonna go away anytime soon.

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna get to that in just a second,

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: but I want to just say this. I was on

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: a couple of Las Vegas betting panels here recently with

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: our good buddy Bill Krackman, who you here on this network,

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Jim Fies, the legend Tom Conally right over at one

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: of them was over Dom DeMarco's pizza, and I said

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: three weeks ago that well, I laid out and you

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: heard me say it on this show. At least two

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: of the last three shows, I thought there were only

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: seven teams that could win this thing. Now, I didn't

44
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: list Saint John's and a couple of people asked me,

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: did you leave out Saint John's. No, I didn't. The

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: thing that bothered me about Saint John's as much as

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: I really like what they have done this year. First

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: of all, they didn't rank in the top seventy and

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: offensive efficiency that was simply going to catch up to

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: them at some point in this tournament. And it's not

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: the Big Geast is not a good conference, but it's

52
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: not a great conference. The truth of the matter is

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: what would it look like once Saint John's got on

54
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: the floor with you know, more extreme athleticism and length.

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: And that's what you saw on Saturday. By the way,

56
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: I'd also mention that when Saint John's was tested by

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: physical teams earlier in the year, they lost to Georgia

58
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: sixty six sixty three. Had one tweeter tell me that

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: that was a blind age, you know, the squirrel found

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: in his nuts. Okay, sure, just get on the floor

61
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: and do it then, which Georgia did. And by the way,

62
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: they lost a Baylor to ninety nine ninety eight, But

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: I digress, And oh, by the way, we're gonna get

64
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: to the other epic matchup. I thought the Gonzaga Houston

65
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: matchup was just epic, featuring Mark fu and Kelvin Samson,

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: two of the more renowned coaches in the game who

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: have yet to win a championship. And oh, by the way,

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: Gonzaga will not be going to their tenth straight Sweet sixteen.

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: But again I digress. I want to talk about Saint John's.

70
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: It's been a fabulous story all year. For the last

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: four months, Rick Patino has been the pop a chili town.

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: He's been riding high the last four months. John Calipari

73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: feels like the bastard child, and in one afternoon that changed.

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: And it's funny because a Bart Giamatti once said the

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: games are designed to break your heart, and I think

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: they do. Because as satisfying as Saint John's season was

77
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: this year, and Rick Patino resurrecting the program while resurrecting

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: his own career, the ending chapter is a Journalist was

79
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: unimaginably painful. I believe for the Saint John's faithful and

80
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: anybody who was rooting for them, or had them in

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: their bracket, or had them in the final four, or

82
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: even winning the darn thing. Of all the ways to lose,

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: you're never gonna like the way you lose. But this

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: was an incredibly bad offensive performance and inability to get

85
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: the final defensive stops. Going out in the second round

86
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: is not what's Saint John's fans had Dare I say,

87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: because I hate this cliche. They didn't have it on

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: their bingo card. But it wasn't just that. There was

89
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: a coaching decision made that will follow Rick Patino and

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: the program for a long time. It's going to follow

91
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: him until they at least get back to this week

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: sixteen fair or unfair five minutes, well, four minutes and

93
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: fifty six seconds to be exact. That's how long the

94
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five Big East Player of the Year sat

95
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: as Saint John's tried to steal a spot in the

96
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen. Rick Patino pulled the Big East Player of

97
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: the Year his star wing R. J. Lewis out of

98
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: the lineup after he made two free throws to cut

99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 2: Arkansas's lead to two points with less than five minutes

100
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: to play. Now, for you, analytics, walks. With Lewis on

101
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: the floor, Saturday, Saint John's was plus fourteen. With him

102
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: off the floor, they were minus five. They trailed by two,

103
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: and they pulled him. This is a guy who finished

104
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: his junior season to become the first Gianny's player to

105
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: average more than nineteen points and seven rebounds in nearly

106
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: thirty years, and he was put in by a freshman

107
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: or he was replaced by a freshman named Ruben Pray

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: out of Portugal who'd only been playing seven minutes a

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: game all season. Lewis sat like a bump on a

110
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: log in front of God and everybody. Only the third

111
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: player in program history to be named the Conference Players

112
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: of the Year. He was her leading scorer in half

113
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: the games this season, but he watched as it was excruciating.

114
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: Five minutes brought Saint John's season two and in. This

115
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: was a harsh reality. Now, Rick Patino, for his own reasons,

116
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: Dean Lewis unplayable down the stretch. There is no game tomorrow,

117
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: This is no winner go home. This was, for all

118
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, a game seven. Again, this was a

119
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: physical game, not the likes of which Saint John's had

120
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: to play every night. They saw a Narkentah team with

121
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: big eyes in the post link athleticism, and yes, Lewis toiled.

122
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: He was three or seventeen from the floor, and that was,

123
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, just reflecting. That was just the flashpoint of

124
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: an already offensively challenged Saint John's teen that looked completely

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: inept on Saturday. But it was the body language he carried,

126
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: the countenance in his face, and the disposition of a

127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: player dying in slow death every second of the worst

128
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: game of his life, in the biggest game in Saint

129
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: John's history of all time, a long face, sad eyes.

130
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 2: Now Saint John's players approached him, consoling him and trying

131
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: to implore him to figure it out. Roy Hibbert made

132
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: an observation in the half that before the half that

133
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Lewis wasn't getting back on defense, he was jogging back

134
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: on defense. And in the postgame press conference, which was

135
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable, Rick Pettina did everything he could to avoid

136
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: saying the obvious. Finally he said, look, he played thirty minutes.

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: That's a long time. The follow up question came played,

138
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: was he tired, No, he played thirty minutes. I played

139
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 2: other people. You know. The answer Roger. He was talking

140
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: to Newsday's Roger Rubin, who was known Patino for twenty years.

141
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: He goes, you're asking leading questions. I don't ask me questions.

142
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: You don't know why I didn't play. I guess we

143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: can surmise from that. He sat him because he was

144
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: three for seventeen and he was over three on threes,

145
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: so he figured I can't go to the well with

146
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: him anymore in the last five minutes because he can't

147
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: shoot today, which, of course the conventional wisdom for all

148
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: the people like us sitting on the sidelines with no

149
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: skin in the game, saying, but he's your horse. I mean,

150
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: is there a chance he might have found lightning in

151
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: a bottle? In all the while, we're not crediting Arkansas

152
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: enough for the win, but give it up to Rick Patino.

153
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: It was a good season. Hostile defense, tough, bruising, physicality,

154
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: great rebounding. It was a great recipe. But Saint John's

155
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: defense made up for some harsh truths. His team ranked

156
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: three hundred and fourteenth in the country in three point

157
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: shooting in three hundred and forty second and points produced

158
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: off threes. Not a good offensive team. I said as

159
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: much and that's what happens. You still got to score

160
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: more points than the other team. At the end of

161
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: the day, the Johnnies felt just short of posting a

162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: program record thirty second win, and they also haven't been

163
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: back to this Week sixteen since nineteen ninety nine. It

164
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: would have been a great way to end the Saturday,

165
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: but not so much. Gonzaga and Houston. Oh my goodness. Now,

166
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: I don't have Houston winning the whole thing. I said

167
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: it weeks ago. I'm riding with Duke. I think they

168
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: got NBA players and defensively they're pretty scary. So I've got,

169
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: you know, Duke and Houston in the Final four, with

170
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Duke prevailing. But for the first thirty five minutes, if

171
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: you watch that game, Houston appeared to be honest way

172
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: to a comfortable win against a very good Mark fu

173
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: coach Gonzaga team. Again, not one of their greatest teams,

174
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: but this Gonzaga team was very good. Their key LJ. Cryer,

175
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: this Houston team, this is the best version of a

176
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: Houston Kelvin Samson team that I can ever remember. They

177
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: they can shoot when they need to shoot. Crier's game

178
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: high thirty points on six and eleven shooting from three

179
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: point range led everybody in double figures, and he drowned

180
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: out a very impressive twenty seven point effort from Gonzaga's

181
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: Graham mic So next up, Houston heads into a potentially

182
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: tricky Sweet sixteen matchup against Purdue. The games in Indianapolis.

183
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Will the venue help? Meanwhile, give it up to Purdue.

184
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: Check that, give it up to BYU. They flaunted their depth,

185
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: they showed defensive teeth, never let the highest scoring, tenacious

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers get up on them. Although BYU did the

187
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: half survive, did have to survive some furious rallies. But

188
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: that's what you do. That's what you do. Creating was

189
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: game against Auburn not enough. Texas Tech is everything I

190
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: thought they were. They're one of the teams to beat

191
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: Houston this year, and on and on, and we'll get

192
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: to Sunday's games later in the show. But March Madness

193
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: is off and running. And after a very chalky Saturday,

194
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: we had some excitement and some interesting storylines on on Saturday,

195
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: and we've now got eight teams who've already punched their ticket,

196
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: as it were, to the Sweet sixteen. Hey, by the way,

219
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: comes to you every Saturday night at this time on

220
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show. Never a shortage of topics. Mark,

221
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: I must start by asking, since you were there, did

222
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: you get the license number of that truck that hit

223
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: the former Staples Center tonight?

224
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 4: I did not get the license number, but I will.

225
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: In the locker room, when Lebron James was talking about

226
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: his return and burning a lot to unpack with his return,

227
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 4: he was asked point blank that it feels confident at

228
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: the going entry that sideline for him for eight games

229
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: is behind him, and he said this, I just take

230
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 4: it day by day. I can't worry about what can

231
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: happen in the future. In other words, Father time is

232
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: still knocking on his door and this might not be

233
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: the end of it.

234
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: Well, let's go back a week, because I always end

235
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: every segment by what will the news cycle bring? And

236
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: credit to you, Mark, because we thought the Lakers we're

237
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: heading into a daunting week. But you thought they could

238
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: go three and two, and they did. They started out

239
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: three and zero, and the irony is you're playing with

240
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: I think I think they had smush Parker and four

241
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: guys with black socks and wristwatches and wing tips shoes

242
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: and looked impressive in the middle of the week. Tonight,

243
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: they have their full compliments Saturday, and they lose by

244
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: thirty one. Look, I have a saying that's baseball, But

245
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: can you listen? Every time I think the Lakers really

246
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: might really make a run, at least maybe the conference

247
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: finaler beyond something like this happens, which is very sobering.

248
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Mark talked to us, really, would the real Lakers please

249
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: stand out? What are you see?

250
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: Well, Bernie, I mean, we've seen Smash Parker play and

251
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: it's night and day between what he showed and what

252
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: Luca Dodgson showed. So obviously obviously the Lakers and miss

253
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: Lebron James, but Luca is a generational star. Austin Reeves

254
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: is a pointing out of his mind, and you know,

255
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: Jackson Hay is all of a sudden, you're thinking Anthony

256
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: Davis who So I think they have the all hands

257
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: on deck approach. Now in the short term, what you

258
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: saw against the Bulls is one Lebron James and really Actchama,

259
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: really rusty after coming off their injuries. But it's also

260
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: this complicated problem that obviously they want a full roster back,

261
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: but how do they integrate and find the right roster

262
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: combinationations while still playing with the sense of urgency when

263
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: they didn't have them. And I think where the Lakers

264
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 4: are wrestling with that is the current circumstances, is that

265
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: I think that there is some level of what JJ

266
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: Reddick has said, Grace that they deserve because they've had

267
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: a very pressed schedule, playing six games in eight days.

268
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: The game Monday against s Antonio was a makeup game

269
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: because that game was postponed due to the wildfires in

270
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: LA two months ago, and so it was already compressed

271
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: schedule with a lot of national TV games being shown

272
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: post Super Bowl. So that's all well in Dandy, but

273
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: that only means that the Lakers will only lay an

274
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: egg in Tonight's game against the Bulls. Moving forward, they

275
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: don't have any margin for error starting Monday in Orlando

276
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: because the standings race is so slim. I mean, the

277
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: Lakers right now they're in fourth place, but that could

278
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 4: very well change. I mean, they're only two and a

279
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: half games behind Houston for the two seed, but they're

280
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: only I think two and a half games over Golden

281
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: State for the sixth seeds, and JJ Reddick has told

282
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: me a few weeks ago he is not playing too

283
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: much important on seating as long as they avoid the

284
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: playing tournament. But as it stands now, they only have

285
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 4: a three game cushion over the Clippers for the seventh season.

286
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: Web gaining at Bernie is you know, I think tonight's game, yes,

287
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: they can have a bulligin, but it can only be

288
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: that because every game is going to make a huge

289
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: difference when it comes to the playoff ramifications.

290
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic Fox Sports Radio NBA guru.

291
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: You hear him every Saturday night at this time on

292
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show. Mark, there's one matchup I'm really

293
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: looking forward to. I can't guarantee that it comes to pass,

294
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: but I am really hoping that at some point in

295
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs the Lakers square off against the Warriors. Have

296
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: you noticed, Mark? Since the All Star Break, Warriors are

297
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: thirteen and three, their point differential is plus one sixty,

298
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: their turnover differentials plus forty three. They're averaging one hundred

299
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: and twenty one points a game on giving up one

300
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: oh seven. I could go on and on, but all

301
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: these are net rankings that are first or second in

302
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: the league since the All Star Break. Now Steve Steph

303
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: Curry hurts his tallbone Thursday night. You can get to

304
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: that in a second. But if both teams are at

305
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: full strength and the Lakers got on the floor with

306
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: the Warriors in a best of seven, without overthinking it,

307
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: how much you lean toward.

308
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: Well, it would be a tough one. Either team could

309
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 4: have their case that could go either way, but assuming

310
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 4: full health, I would go with the Warriors. You know,

311
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: I have been impressed with how the Lakers have played

312
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: up until tonight's game against the Bulls because they've played

313
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: at such an elite level defensively, just going all out

314
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: on effort. Jack said Hayes, all of a sudden looks

315
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 4: like a really serviceable center, and J. J. Rennick has

316
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: made good use of small ball combinations. But I think

317
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: the reality is this, Draymond Green's now entered the Defensive

318
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: Player of the Year Award conversation with Evan Mobley and

319
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: Jaron Jackson Junior. And there's more continuity on that end

320
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 4: with the Warriors. You added Steph Curry, he's getting you threees.

321
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler, he's getting you free throws, clutch midrange shots.

322
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: They have what it takes to make a kind of

323
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 4: championship run. Now, I don't give the Warriors the heavy

324
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 4: favor to win the championship. I still think it's going

325
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 4: to be between Boston, Cleveland, Oklahoma City, and Denver. But

326
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 4: the Warriors are the real deal. And I know that

327
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: Draymond Green wasn't happy with the loss today in Atlanta

328
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: because of the same reasons why the Lakers feel concerned.

329
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: You know, there's only so much partner feir with these standings.

330
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: But the Warriors have been really good without Steph Curry.

331
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: And while there isn't necessarily a timetable on when he

332
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 4: comes back, you know, I've been told that you know

333
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: the pelvic area that you know they have again an

334
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: MRI from right there was a confusion, no structural damage.

335
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 5: So he's going to be reevaluated on Monday.

336
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean he's going to return as early as Tuesday's

337
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: game in Miami, but there is a chance that he

338
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: can return while the Warriors are still on the road

339
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: next week in Miami, New Orleans, in the following week

340
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 4: in San Antonio, Memphis, and LA.

341
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ok so you basically answered that question. Steph Curry

342
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 2: did land very hard and so you know it's a

343
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: weight bearing injury, but you don't see any potential situation

344
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: where that could be debilitating As it gets towards the playoffs,

345
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: I want to see both teams at full strength.

346
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: Frankly, yeah, and no, there's optimism. I mean, obviously we

347
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 4: don't know when step Curry is going to come back,

348
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: but doesn't seem like there's a high level concern on

349
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: severity of it. He's going to come back at some point.

350
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 4: With the Lakers, it's all kind of up in the air.

351
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: I mentioned to you about Lebron talking about his going

352
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: injury and he's going to have to take it day

353
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 4: by day. But really at Chama, he's another player that

354
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: just came back tonight. He had been out for the

355
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: last three weeks with a knee injury, and he estimated

356
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 4: that he's only at about seventy five eighty percent. Now

357
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: that's better than zero percent, but he made it clear

358
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: that he doesn't think he'll ever be able to get

359
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: it fully healthy until the offseason. And look, it starts

360
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: with Lebron, James and Luka Dodvich, but the Lakers need

361
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: to have roster death. They need to have good wing defenders,

362
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: they need to have guys that can run up on

363
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: the floor and get easy baskets. And really, ha Chama

364
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: checks all those boxes.

365
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: I agree with all that last thing on the Lakers.

366
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: They're the only team in the top six, meaning that

367
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: if the season of today they wouldn't be in the

368
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: playing tournament that has an under five hundred record on

369
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: the road. Everybody else, Memphis, Golden State, Denver, Houston, obviously

370
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, they're all over five hundred on the road.

371
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: Can you glean anything from that?

372
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really interesting stat I mean, I think,

373
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: you know, as it pertains the Lakers, a lot of

374
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 4: it has to do with they played a lot more

375
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 4: road games in the game of the season before the

376
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: Luca Dogics trade. They're just a dramatically different team before

377
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 4: the trade deadline, as we've seen. So I think that,

378
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: you know, the law of averages will weigh itself out.

379
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: I think that they're capable of winning on the road.

380
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you may recall these past two years, the

381
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: Lakers basically had to fight through their life post trade

382
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 4: deadline just to make the play in tournament, and so

383
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 4: they have players that are experienced with that, with Lebron

384
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: James really action more they have Jared Vanderbilt, so I

385
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 4: think if they're e clipped.

386
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 6: To do that.

387
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 4: But it is obviously a testament that all those other

388
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: teams have won on the road, because the bottom line is,

389
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: if you're going to make a championship runs, you have

390
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 4: to win the road games. It's I need to think, Okay,

391
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 4: you're going to win every single home game, because that

392
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: literally has never happened in the history of the NBA playoffs.

393
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: Mark, you mentioned the Clippers a second ago. Don't look now,

394
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: They've won fight by combined ninety three points. They've won

395
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: eight of their last nine, right on schedule to get

396
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday night and what may or

397
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: may not be an acid test. Can you trust that

398
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: the Clippers, now with a healthy Kawhi and James Harden

399
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: company might finally reach whatever ceiling they have?

400
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 4: Well, they very well could. I mean, the Clippers are

401
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 4: always going to have a chance of Kawhi Leonards on

402
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: the floor, and so far, so good, he's out of

403
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: the minutes restrictions. Ever since he came back, there haven't

404
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: been any signs of stepback. You obviously never wish this

405
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 4: on anyone, but you know, you just have to be

406
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: aware that his injury history speaks for itself. But yeah,

407
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 4: on paper, they're a great team and James Harden, he's

408
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: still playing an all Star caliber level. I think that

409
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: the thing that has really kept the Clippers to be

410
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 4: a competitive team even with all these overlapping injuries. They

411
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: have great role players that ful filled positional needs. And

412
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: when you're looking at this current Cloppers roster, there's a

413
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 4: little bit of comity there. Of he'sa Zubot's longest tenured

414
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: Clipper right now the team, Norman how great bench player

415
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: now having a starters role this season, and ty Lou

416
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: heack of a coach ironically, he's been out these last

417
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 4: Torutch of games because of issues with his back. But

418
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 4: Brian Shaw, he's a very well respected coach. He's had

419
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: a lot of extensive experience both as a head coach

420
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 4: and assistant coach, and he's very close to Tyleru, so

421
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 4: it's not surprising that they've had success under him.

422
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, certainly, the Clippers are peaking at the right time

423
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: and they're getting offensive production across the board with the

424
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, by the players you just mentioned, And so

425
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: the question is this Can you trust this? Or is

426
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: this light at the end of the summage. It's another

427
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: oncoming train because I think it would be actually be

428
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: good for basketball because he both LA teams make noise

429
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: in the playoffs.

430
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think do I trust that? Yes, they're a

431
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 4: great team. I think it's this that you can't ever

432
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: discount injury history because he's with Kawhi and James Harden.

433
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: But I think even if they're a healthy roster, what

434
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: they're saying themselves up for is likely facing either the

435
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City Thunder or the Denver Nuggets in a first

436
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: round playoff matchup, and assuming there's no major injuries on

437
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 4: those teams, I just don't see the Clippers even a

438
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 4: full strength of being in them because there's just so

439
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: much roster depth, so much continuity. You know, I know

440
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: that the Nuggets they've been vulnerable recently while Nikoli Jokich

441
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 4: and Jamal Murray have been out. But you know, I

442
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: talked with Felipe I Converger, the Nuggets head trainer, earlier

443
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 4: this week. Didn't seem to be like it was two

444
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: cause of a concern the thrust. These are real injuries.

445
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: They didn't just sit out for the sake of it.

446
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: They Nikoliok has a pretty good track record of playing games.

447
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray not so much because of his ACL injury.

448
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 4: But the bottom line is there's a lot of comfort

449
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 4: levels within the Nuggets training staff that they're going to

450
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 4: be fully healthy once the playoffs start.

451
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: I can't not in this segment without mentioning the venerable

452
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: Bronnie James, who, by the way, fired back at a

453
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: heckler last week, and he was pretty clever. Yes he

454
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: should be. No, he would never fire back in me. No,

455
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: I hit him with a combination night putting up with that.

456
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 7: But well I would.

457
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: But I don't just like Bronnie. I like Bronnie. He's

458
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: a victim of circumstances, as I say on the three studies.

459
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: But he did he did play the other night because

460
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: every starter except Jackson Hayes didn't play. And yes they

461
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 2: were minus thirty six. But let's keep Bronnie James his due.

462
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 2: Seventeen points on a seven to ten, seven to ten

463
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: field goals right, five or six free throws, by the way,

464
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: two for two from the line tonight Saturday Night hit

465
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: five assists. Those are thirty very very productive minutes in

466
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: an NBA game. So let's be fair here. Is he improving,

467
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: Is he starting to show some promises put potentially a

468
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 2: legitimate NBA player.

469
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's no doubt he's improving.

470
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 8: I think the.

471
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 4: Challenge with brawny James and frankly is a lot of

472
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 4: topics to the state of the world these days is

473
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: there's a lot of lack of perspective and overreaction on

474
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: both sides. He didn't play a lot at USC his

475
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: freshman season because of the cardiac arrestsco but even when

476
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 4: accounting for that, he wasn't seen as NBA ready. But

477
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: when he was drafted fifty to fifth, you know, the

478
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: feeling I got talking to different scouts was that he

479
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: didn't have a defined skill set. No one really knew

480
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: if he was a traditional point guard or a shooting guard.

481
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 4: They did like his defense and attitude, and so the

482
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,239
Speaker 4: feeling was as long as he's playing mostly in the

483
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 4: G League, you know, he could obviously develop and expedite

484
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: his growth, but there weren't a lot of people that thought.

485
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: He's ready for the NBA.

486
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 9: At the beginning of the season.

487
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, we've seen that he can play in spot

488
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 4: minutes and he's continuing to get better. But I do

489
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: think we have to keep in mind that that Milwaukee game,

490
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: it was impressive, relatively speaking, encouraging, but you hit the

491
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: nail on the head. He was playing because half the

492
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: roster was hurt, and so I think that there's this

493
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: overreaction that can paint this as some sort of redemption story,

494
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 4: as if he was proving people wrong, when in reality

495
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 4: it was almost always the same. He entered the NBA

496
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: not being fully ready. He to a man, did all

497
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 4: the right things as far as his work habit, attitude,

498
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: didn't try to, you know, lean on you know, the

499
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 4: fact that Lebron is his dad is, and he's sort

500
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 4: of feeling that he's entitled anything, and he just kept playing.

501
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 7: In the work.

502
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: And so where he's at now, you know, he's capable

503
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 4: of playing minute starring mop up duty, and he's capable

504
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: of playing in the G League. And I think that

505
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: moving forward, there's always going to be a want for

506
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: players of his caliber to be on an NBA team

507
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: that are at the end of the rotation, because they're

508
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 4: good practice players. They'll compete and they're always willing to improve.

509
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 4: Now what that means as far as his future and

510
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 4: what his trajectory is too hard to say. But the

511
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: reality is in the NBA, as much as there is

512
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: a need to be talented, hard work often can chip

513
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: away at different deficiencies. So from that standpoint, he's doing

514
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 4: the right things and he'll always overachieve because of that.

515
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: I will always maintain my objectivity about Brownie. She's helling

516
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: personal with me. He even hit a three pointer over

517
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: Nicole Jokin Friday night. If people were paying attention. They

518
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: lost that game, of course to the Nuggets. The Lakers did,

519
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: but that was the game where there was a stoppage

520
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: in play and some heckler I don't know what the

521
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: details were, yelled at Bronnie, who was in the bench area,

522
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: and he said something about him and his father, and

523
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: Bronnie looked back at the heckler and there's a video apparently,

524
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the video. He just says, hey, your

525
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: chain fake. That was pretty good. I thought that was

526
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: not pretty good. I thought that was really good. So

527
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: give it up to Brownie. Maybe he's finally arrived. I'm

528
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: a million miles away from being convinced you'll ever be

529
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: an NBA player. But if you score seventeen in an

530
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: NBA game, Okay, we got to talk about it, right,

531
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: that's got to be fair, right, Yeah.

532
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, I'm sure knowing how Brownie is, he

533
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: obviously has bigger aspirations of this, but I think he

534
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 4: has proven that he could be a player that is

535
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 4: a twelfth, fifteenth man on the loss because a lot

536
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: of times when organizations are valuating and evaluating players that

537
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: are going to be in their slot, they're evaluating are

538
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 4: they good practice players? And will they not complain and

539
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: be a pain of that, you know one, because they're

540
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 4: probably not going to be playing a lot now. Obviously,

541
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: Bronny again, I presume he has bigger aspirations, but the

542
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: fact you know that is in of its in and

543
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: of its itself something that you can tigue your horn

544
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 4: about because he wasn't projected to at least have that

545
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: kind of rotation as a twelve to fifteenth person at

546
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season.

547
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: I will say this, one of the things I think

548
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: Brownie has proved proven is that the spotlight, as it were,

549
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: the spotlight is not too big for him. No, I

550
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: don't think he's any good but the spotlight Snope. He

551
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: conducts himself like a professional. He truly conducts himself like

552
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: a consonan professional, and he's trying to make the best

553
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: of his opportunity. And I think there's something to be

554
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: said for that. Mark, a great store, great stuff is

555
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: always once again, I'll say it again. Can't wait to

Speaker 2: see what the new cycle brings us before next Saturday.

557

Speaker 2: like to get off your chest, we're here for you.

595
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: Callers have been fantastic. Let's start with march Man. This

596
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: is there's a decidedly different look. You're not seeing the

597
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: buzzer beaters, you're not seeing the upsets, you're not seeing

598
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: the mid majors you heard me see earlier Alabama State,

599
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: mont Saint Mary's, North Carolina, Xavier all lost. What's that mean?

600
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Second time in fifteen years? The first fourteen didn't invest

601
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: advance past the first round since the tournament expanded in

602
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty eleven to the playing games. Prior to that, twelve

603
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: of the last thirteen years one of them got to

604
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen. So I attributed to the nil and

605
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: transfer portal. The rich kid richer. If you're a mid

606
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: major kid and all of a sudden, someone's going off

607
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: your five hundred grand to go play at a power

608
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: five school, you're going or perhaps you want a bigger

609
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: platform that's the way I see it. How do you

610
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: see it? How do you like the tournament so far?

611
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm still enjoying it. I just think it looks different.

612
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: Let's get your thoughts all right. At the NFL a

613
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: couple of potential rule changes. Someone wants to ban the

614
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: push touch. I'm looking at you, Green Bay zero and

615
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: three against Philly since twenty twenty two. You called the

616
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 2: ban the play because you don't like it. Well, I say, nope,

617
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: not up in the ear. You want to ban a

618
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: play that one team has taken the time to master,

619
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: simply could because you struggle to stop it. Come on, man,

620
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: I ain't going for that, but you might want it banned.

621
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: You might not see it as a football play. Now,

622
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: A lot of folks look one of the best things

623
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: about the midnight hour. I think our best conversations are

624
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: the ones where people disagree, simple as that the other

625
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: playoff rule that's gonna be discussed, or check that the

626
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: other NFL rule no more? Five hundred ish NFC South

627
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: champs hosting teams with significantly better records. Now. This proposal,

628
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 2: not surprisingly came from my beloved Detroit Lions, who are

629
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 2: covered pre and post from ninety eight to two thousand

630
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: and eight, they finished one loss away from the number

631
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: five seed despite having a fifteen to two record. I

632
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: gotta vote ya on this one. He would know. Back

633
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: in twenty ten to seven to nine, Seattle Seahawks gave

634
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: birth to Beast Motors. They stuffed New Orleans. It can happen,

635
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: but division battles would still remain important. But this would

636
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: reward teams who perform better and harder divisions. So if

637
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: you have a better play season record, you'll get preferential

638
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: treatment with your seeding over a team who might have

639
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: won their division, even though they have a lesser record

640
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: than you. And Bannon a touch push, I'm against it.

641
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on those

642
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 2: two rules? All right? On the third topic, I want

643
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: to give my good buddy Dan Bayer, you hear them

644
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: all around the network a lot of credit on this one.

645
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: I thought was very clever. Talked about Bronnie james seventeen

646
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: point performance the other night. The problem is, yes, it

647
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: was in an NBA game. You score seventeen points in

648
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: an NBA game, that's noteworthy, even if your minus thirty six,

649
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: even if you get blown out, even if they're essentially meaningless.

650
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: He scored seventeen points in an NBA game, but might

651
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: that have been a lot more meaningful? This was Dan Stott.

652
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: If you'd scored, say twenty seven points in a March

653
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: Madness game, I would say, what if he even scored

654
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: just seventeen points in a March Madness game. Let's say

655
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 2: you were watching Bronnie James the USC Trojans score seventeen

656
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: points in a March Madness game. Might you have found

657
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: that to be more significant than just scoring seventeen points

658
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: in a meaningless NBA game. The fourth topic Dion Sanders.

659
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 2: I love Deon Sanders. So we are in that time

660
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: frame now where many colleges are having spring football practice.

661
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: Some have already completed it, some are just starting. You

662
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 2: get the picture. I mean, there's one hundred and forty

663
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 2: Division one college football teams. Dion, by the way, many

664
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: schools are scrapping their spring game. Dion not only is

665
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: going to have his spring game, he's managing to get

666
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 2: it televised. And oh, by the way, Dion has come

667
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: up with a new fangled idea, why don't we have

668
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: a spring game against other schools? Hmmm? Is it a

669
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: head scratcher. Is it a good idea? What do you

670
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: think about Dan's idea? Would you watch, say, Colorado play

671
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: Illinois in a a in a spring game. It's got

672
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: my attention. I don't know, you know, if I'm gonna

673
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: if it's gonna be appointment viewing, but it's got my attention.

674
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: I've heard worse ideas, But give it up to Dion

675
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 2: for typically thinking outside the box. Now again, we've also

676
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: got the rant if you would like to call in

677
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven, nine, nine, sixty six, three, sixty ninth,

678
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 2: it just gets something off your chest. But I kind

679
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: of I like to lead the witness, as it were,

680
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: for these topics. So March Madness, it's underway. Eight teams

681
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: have already punched their ticket to the Sweet sixteen. And

682
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: you've got a situation where you are seeing no buzzer beaters,

683
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: no real upsets. You had a couple five twelves, big

684
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: whoopedie damn do Okay, it's not like it used to be.

685
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: You're not seeing Mercer beating Duke, et cetera. And I

686
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: my theory is that nil and the transfer portal has

687
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: created this landscape, the richer getting richer, simple as that

688
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: the chasm between the mid majors in the great schools.

689
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: You know, Member B while he's a Big twelve school,

690
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: they're no longer than the whack like they were thirty

691
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: years ago. All right, so do you get my point?

692
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 2: The NFL rule changes ban the toush push. Green Bay

693
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: wants it. I say, no, you want to ban a

694
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: play just because you haven't mastered it and they have.

695
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: Philly has Nope, not up in here. And how about

696
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 2: wins determined playoff seating versus whether or not you won

697
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 2: the NFC South with a lousier record than the Detroit Lions.

698
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: I like that rule change. We stive had passes. Give

699
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: my credit to give credit to my guy, Dan Byer

700
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: Bronnie James. He had seventeen points in an NBA game.

701
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: That's something I've never had him scoring seventeen points in

702
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: an NBA game, But he did it. But it might

703
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 2: it have been more significant and memorable had Brownie's James

704
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: scored seventeen points in March Madness say playing for us.

705
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: He finally, Dion Sanders still coaching in Colorado, and I'm

706
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: glad Dion is not only going to have his spring

707
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: football game, he managed to get it televised, and Brownie

708
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: had our check. Pronni Jesus Dion had an idea, why

709
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: don't we have maybe spring football games against other schools.

710
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: He's kind of got my attention. So there you have it.

711
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 2: March Man, it's NFL real changes, Brownie James seventeen point

712
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: meaningless game in the NBA, and Deon Sanders plus the

713
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: rant you know what to do eight seven seven nine

714
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 2: nine six six three sixty nine eight seven seven ninety

715
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,640

Speaker 2: Tirect dot com. The way tire buying should be eight seven, seven,

728
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: nine to nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine

729
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: six six three six to nine. Very simple. It's a

00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: mint hour, so we got so you could rent talk

731
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: about whatever you want. But to lead the witness, I

732
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 2: want to talk a little March madness if you should

733
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 2: like to opine no upsets really a couple of twelve

734
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: fives one to eleven six, big deal. I attributed to

735
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: the nil and transfer portal, NFL rules changes, toush push

736
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 2: and best record versus conference or division championship. Who should

737
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 2: get treatment or treatment for the playoffs? Brianni James scores

738
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: seventeen points. My guy Dan Byer thought would have been

739
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: a lot more meaningful had those seventeen company any any

740
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: March Madness game. And then finally Dione Sanders in his

741
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 2: spring football idea, we go out to Massachusetts where Jim

742
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: joins us and starts us off. Jim, good to hear

743
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: from you. You've got the floor.

744
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 5: Hey, Bernie, how's it going? As far as Matchman just goes,

745
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 5: I'm old school Berninge back with Isla Maguire where he

746
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 5: says the NCAA tournament isn't about winning. It's just about surviving.

747
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 5: And you know it started off pretty good. I mean,

748
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 5: look what happened to Saint John's. But you know it's

749
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 5: going good. I like the way it's going. And you know,

750
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 5: you can't prepare for those games. I mean, coaches, when

751
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 5: they know who they're going to play, they can maybe

752
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 5: within a few hours get takes on the other team

753
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 5: of videos or something like that. But you really can't prepare.

754
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 5: And that's what's so best about the tournament. You know,

755
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 5: you can't scout, you can't do anything. You just got

756
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 5: to go out there and play because you don't know

757
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 5: who you're playing.

758
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: You know, go ahead, no, go ahead, No, you got

759
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: the floor, man, I wanted to see.

760
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 5: The other thing about the lake is my god. The

761
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 5: other night I turned on the game, I think they

762
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 5: were playing Denver. In the crowds that they were winning

763
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 5: in the last two minutes of the game, that in

764
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 5: the crowdstted yellow Brownie. I don't know what what's in

765
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 5: the water out there or something, but that poor kid,

766
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 5: I mean, because I don't think he's going anywhere. I

767
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 5: don't think he's an NBA player. And you know, the

768
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 5: NBA as a whole. You know, they're down what fifty

769
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 5: three percent viewership. I'm just the old school.

770
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: I like the old.

771
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 5: NBA when there were rivalries and there's post up play.

772
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 5: Now it's just running gun like. You know, you don't

773
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 5: have to pay go see that. Just go to your

774
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 5: local uh you know, your local park and why to

775
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 5: play on the toier, you know, on.

776
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: The tire courts. That's what they do.

777
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 5: They just run and gun. I mean, what is that?

778
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't like that. And as far as Dion,

779
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: Dion did a good little coup there because the school's

780
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 5: going to get money for them being on TV. Yeah,

781
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 5: he's a finance finance guy. He knows what he's doing.

782
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 5: So that's good for Colorado. You watch now that he

783
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 5: does it. You watch in five years, everybody's gonna want this.

784
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 5: They're game on TV. So you know, took the hat

785
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 5: to him.

786
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing, all right, Jim appreciated. But

787
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 2: anything on the NFL rule changes. I don't want to

788
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: ban the toush push, and I think they do need

789
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: to revisit, uh the wins determining a playoff seating more

790
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 2: so than uh uh, you know, a division champion who

791
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: may have been a division champion but has a lesser record.

792
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's just the way it is. You just

793
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 5: got to let that go.

794
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 9: I don't you can't.

795
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 5: Deny the Vision Championship. I don't think that's going anywhere.

796
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 2: Well, they were still getting the playoffs, but but maybe

797
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: a team of the better record gets more preferential home

798
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: seating type thing.

799
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 5: That's not the way it's set up. And I don't

800
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 5: think they're going to change that. I don't think the

801
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 5: owners are going to vote on that to change that.

802
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure about that. But you know that's the

803
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: whole that's the whole thing man on that that topic.

804
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: Right, all right, thanks, do you appreciate it? Eight seven

805
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, eight seven

806
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine And Fox Poppy in San Diego. What's up, buddy?

807
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm just right here excited that march Man is

808
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 9: Bernie and you know, it's it's great. You know, on

809
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 9: people don't like it. There's an underdog and of course,

810
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 9: and I know everything's changing, but look, tomorrow is gonna

811
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 9: be good games. I'm really excited against Duke against Baylor,

812
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 9: minus probing. I have that's an easy one for me, guys,

813
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 9: loving that. And the other game that I'm excited the

814
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 9: march Man is New Mexico Lobos against you know, Michigan State.

815
00:44:58,760 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

816
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I really love the Lobos plus seven and

817
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 9: a half guys. I think that'll be the upset tomorrow.

818
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, that would be Now, that would be an

819
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: upset in my view. If you've given any thoughts to

820
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: the rule changes too.

821
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, And the rule change, I think that's good

822
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 9: because you know, certain teams in the division. You know,

823
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 9: some teams are weaker and they won the division out

824
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 9: of winning the like almost fairly winning record, and they

825
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 9: get like a home scene, and I think that's good.

826
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 9: That needs to be changed because there's controversy like hey,

827
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 9: this team has a better record, Oh, this won the

828
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 9: division and they get a home team because that's the

829
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 9: division one and then the other one that barely made it.

830
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 9: I think that's good. And the touch push people complaining

831
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 9: about that, well, guess what I got some secrets for

832
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 9: you guys, so you can do if your complain about that,

833
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 9: those owners are voting for that, well with how about

834
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 9: you stop the egos before that and you won't get

835
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 9: the fourth and one and touch push or in the

836
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 9: fourth than one in the goal line or first down

837
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 9: in one. How about your stop on so they won't

838
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 9: do that on you? How about that?

839
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. I'm going to read a tweet

840
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: in a minute that basically said the same thing. Any

841
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: thoughts on Bronnie James, Like my dann Byrus said, Buddy

842
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: dan Bier said, might his seventeen points have been a

843
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 2: little bit more impactful and meaningful if it was actually

844
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: in a March Madness game?

845
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 9: Well, you know, I love that. Well, he's got his

846
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 9: opinion on that. And you know what I think about Bronnie.

847
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 9: I saw him on the Summer League in your hometown

848
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 9: in Las Vegas, right there UNW Stadium, and look, this

849
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 9: was just not any regular scrubs. Bronnie jeans and was doing.

850
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 9: He's put in his work, he's been on the g

851
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 9: leag he's been working hard, and he played against two

852
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 9: all stars right on the bus with Jonas and Vimion Leonard.

853
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 9: It's just not any scrub players. And yeah, I understand

854
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 9: that Luca wasn't playing all these players, but hey, you

855
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 9: got to take it till you make it. Bronnie's been

856
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 9: putting the hard work. I like how you broke the

857
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 9: ankles of Janets. It would have been good if you

858
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 9: would have finished that great and got a bucket right

859
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 9: highlight reel. But what it is, I love everything that

860
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 9: he's doing and.

861
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: He deserves that fair enough.

862
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 9: And then onto Dion Sanders on that one. Yeah, he

863
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 9: knows what he's doing, smart marketing, smart strategy. I would

864
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 9: love for him to play against who knows a Colorado state.

865
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 9: You know that the rams right there, somebody else. There'll

866
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 9: be good highlights time time.

867
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 10: He knows what he's doing.

868
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 9: And uh yep, I think he does that. It'll be

869
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 9: the start of the trend of maybe Netflix or other

870
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 9: Sydney services showing that game.

871
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: Thanks, Poppy, appreciate you, enjoy your Sunday. And I'm gonna

872
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: get to that a little bit later. Both Colorado and

873
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: Syracuse that petition the NCAA to do this. Deon's basically said,

874
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 2: you can't have a competitive game against your own guys

875
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 2: against Monotona. So we'll get to that a little bit later.

876
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 11: Uh.

877
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 2: Next up, Gunner in Minnesota, Thanks for joining us. Gunner,

878
00:47:53,840 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: You're on the Bernie Fraddle Show. How Bernie Good, Bernie yeah,

879
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 2: I gotta think about them so much.

880
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 12: Man, I think, hey, big Kelly.

881
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 2: You got a little noise in the background there. Could

882
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 2: you pop that down just a hair please, it's coming

883
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 2: back through the airwaves. It's muffling your commentary.

884
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 10: All right, go ahead, all right, I got some.

885
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Gunnar, do me a favorite pal

886
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: uh Ian. Put Gunner on hold, tell him the call back.

887
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: We'll go right to him. We're having a fagezi there,

888
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: and I want him to I want the folks to

889
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: be able to hear what Gunner's got to say. Uh,

890
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: Danny and Bellingham jointed. Just Danny, welcome into the Bernie

891
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: Fradle Show. Is this your first time in the midnight hour? Hey, yeah,

892
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: it is welcome.

893
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 9: Hen I listen all the time.

894
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: Though, good to hear from you. What do you got

895
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: for us?

896
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 9: Oh? Hey?

897
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 11: On the touch push thing? So from what I understand,

898
00:48:54,120 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 11: I thought having an offensive player pushing another offensive player

899
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 11: was illegal, And if it's not, then shouldn't a defensive

900
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 11: player be able to push another defensive player?

901
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 6: Then?

902
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: I mean, where are we going with this?

903
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 13: Then?

904
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 2: You know, well, what's interesting? You know what's interesting, Danny?

905
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: Other NFL teams have attempted to copy the to push.

906
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: They just can't do it as well as Philly. But

907
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: I think banning it is a little silly. Do you

908
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 2: think it should be banned?

909
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 14: But my point isn't whether they're good at it or not.

910
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 14: My point is whether it is. It's a rugby play

911
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 14: and that we want great rugby into football, and if

912
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 14: we're gonna let the offense push, shouldn't we let the

913
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 14: defensive start pushing?

914
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 9: All right?

915
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: This is a good call, Danny. I will say this

916
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: that you're not the first one to basically allude to

917
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 2: it as a rugby play. Anything on March Man is

918
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: my man or Brownie.

919
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 14: So here's my March Madness saying I've got one thing

920
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,280

00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 10: And I'm gonna give you.

923
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 14: A quote from Bob Knight. Stupid loses more games than

924
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 14: smart wins.

925
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: That's very true, very true, and.

926
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:24,640

Speaker 10: in the other aubumn and.

944
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: Why do you suppose they are the upsets this year?

945
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 2: What's your theory? Do you have? Ring boy gonna We're

946
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: having the same issue. Man, We're gonna try it one

947
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: more time. It's not fair to you, and I certainly

948
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 2: want the listeners to be able to hear you. Uh,

949
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: try a different spot. I want to give you your due,

950
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 2: your your day in court. But it ain't working so far.

951
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 16: Uh.

952
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 2: Andre in Massachusetts, welcome back in. It's been a minute.

953
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: Good to hear from you, Andre.

954
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,479
Speaker 10: How you doing, Bertie? Thanks for taking the call. Listen.

955
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 10: I got a chime in about March madness. I'm enjoying

956
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 10: the tournament and like no other. The first Thursday and

957
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 10: Friday have to be the best two days in the

958
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 10: in the sports calendar for me. Bernie, I got to say,

959
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 10: I'm a little bit heartbroken for Saint John's and what

960
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 10: happened today in Province. Now we got the marquee matchup

961
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 10: that we wanted, Patino versus Califari back in Providence where

962
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 10: Patino got his start, and I tipped my hat. I

963
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 10: got to call him Don Califari because nobody produces NBA

964
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 10: prospects like Califari. So I'm happy for him that he's

965
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 10: moving forward after the situation in Kentucky and people doubting

966
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 10: his ability to coach and get wins in the tournament.

967
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 10: But this was the Johnny year, forty years since they

968
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 10: won the Big East. Patino had all ships, everything fired

969
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 10: in the right direction. He's got nil situation with the

970
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 10: way that it needs to be in terms of the

971
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 10: investment from the under armour folks. And it's just you know,

972
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 10: Arkansas was the better team. Game was well officiated, there

973
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 10: was nothing untowards. But I was really hoping for Saint

974
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 10: John's and really Patino to make a run, you know.

975
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 14: Good for the Big East.

976
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: Michael, Sir Andre and I said it I've been sitting

977
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: on my shows for three straight weeks. They didn't rank

978
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 2: in the top seventy and offensive efficient, and I believe

979
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: that would would catch up with him. I didn't think

980
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: we'd catch up and the way it did today, but

981
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 2: it certainly didn't real quickly. Anything on the NFL rule

982
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: changes proposed to Bronnie Oh, first of.

983
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 10: All rule changes, cuse push listen, I love it. You

984
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 10: know we'll do. Are we supposed to ban contact from

985
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 10: simhere wrestling? Now? What are you talking about? This is football? Okay,

986
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 10: sit down there on the line and go go at it,

987
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 10: you know. And just because people can't stop the egos

988
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 10: doesn't mean we shouldn't have it in the game. And

989
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 10: Bronnie had had a breakout game right showed that.

990
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 9: He I don't know belongs.

991
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 10: But that was an impressive showing. And it's silence, or

992
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 10: at least so I have people take a step back

993
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 10: in terms of his uh uh, whether he deserves to

994
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 10: be on NBA Ross. Thanks taking Nicole bring all right, Hey,

995
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:48,440

1047
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 6: I'll try to get through this with a puffin too

1048
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 6: much air out. But I'm going to stick to the two, basically,

1049
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 6: the NFL and then the Brownie. But I really I

1050
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 6: liked I think they always should have had the idea

1051
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 6: to have the better records go against each other dating

1052
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 6: back to twenty ten, and I really believe that yes

1053
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 6: Saints team would have gone to the Super Bowl. If

1054
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 6: you watch that game again, it was a mud bowl.

1055
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 6: It results like just a total, you know, disaster of

1056
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 6: a game.

1057
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: Said about half an hour ago. I don't know if

1058
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 2: you're listening. The game played in Seattle. There were seven

1059
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 2: or nine and that's the day of Beast Mode was born.

1060
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I I really, I really believe that that Saints

1061
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 6: team played anywhere besides that that that conditions of Seattle.

1062
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 6: But it's this just like the NFL, they're gonna you know,

1063
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 6: I don't think they will. I think it's a great

1064
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 6: it's a great proposal. I don't think they will, though,

1065
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 6: because it's it's they love the controversy. They love it's

1066
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 6: part of what the.

1067
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 2: NFL point point.

1068
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 6: What were gonna say about Brownie? I, Bernie, I'm I'm

1069
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 6: gonna stick with the last time. I believe I talked

1070
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 6: to you, either three or four weeks ago before the LUCA.

1071
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 6: I still think, Bernie, the half of the players in

1072
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 6: the NBA aren't playing. I mean, I could go to

1073
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 6: the LA Fitness down the street and grab some of

1074
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 6: these guys and jump out there. I mean, I I

1075
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 6: don't I don't believe it means anything. I don't believe

1076
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 6: numbers mean anything in this league. I think it's just

1077
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 6: it's just a seriously bad product. And I want to

1078
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 6: say this and I'll get off, Bernie. The NBA, the

1079
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 6: sport of the NBAS people are still not watching, whether

1080
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 6: you want to admit it or not, They're not watching

1081
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 6: like we.

1082
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: Watch the NFL.

1083
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 6: What it is is where the sport of the NBA

1084
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 6: is sitting down listening to you, listening to Parker, listening

1085
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 6: to these guys, and it's being nobody watches the game anymore. Still,

1086
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 6: So you no, I mean, I don't want to wander off,

1087
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 6: but yeah, Bronnie, Ronnie can can can get you know,

1088
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 6: meet me at twenty four hour fitness if he wants

1089
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 6: tonight at midnight.

1090
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, I appreciate you, Tony. And of course

1091
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: the irony is the NBA is the recipient of an

1092
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 2: incredibly lucrative TV contract, so money is is not an issue.

1093
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: Gunner in Minnesota. Hopefully the third time was a charm.

1094
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 2: I didn't want to cut you off. Appreciate you calling back,

1095
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: but it was started to sound like the U the

1096
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 2: drive through a speaker at Burger Chef, you know when

1097
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,439
Speaker 2: they I'll take a vanilla shake and they say, okay,

1098
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: go ahead, but you got the floor.

1099
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got a couple of things too.

1100
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 16: Then, Bronnie, I'm not convinced you.

1101
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 10: I'm not convinced at all.

1102
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 12: It's just the one.

1103
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 10: Game show, your one time, and he's not gonna be

1104
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 10: anything like his father is. I'm not I'm not a

1105
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 10: fan of lebron and all, but I like him when

1106
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 10: he's younger, but he's he's not gonna be nothing like.

1107
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: Him anything on March Madness or the NFL room changes.

1108
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 10: If you want to try to change, good luck with that.

1109
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 9: You to fail your defense if you.

1110
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 12: Want, Yeah, just try to stop it.

1111
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 2: Common sense.

1112
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 14: Like I said, I'm a Panther fan. We're figuring out

1113
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 14: or to defend the I just pray Deven just picked

1114
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 14: up all even the players.

1115
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, and the other role change. Well, I just I said,

1116
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 10: I'm a Panthers and we're trying to get in the

1117
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 10: playoffs and net roll change, it'd be fine.

1118
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 9: Who is after it out?

1119
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 10: All right?

1120
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Youn I appreciate you man, thanks a lot. I appreciate

1122
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 2: your perto and San Diego Como.

1123
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 16: Star well, La comasta, Bernie moeby Annie too movie and

1124
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 16: movie end. Listen, Bernie, h I'm gonna get to the

1125
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 16: to the questions you have. But I'm a little bit

1126
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 16: sad because we lost a great one in George Foreman.

1127
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give a him later in the show.

1128
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 16: I appreciate it, Bernie, appreciate it, and listen. Regarding the NFL,

1129
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 16: for the the record, I team, they should recede and

1130
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 16: based on they should receive them based on the record,

1131
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 16: and they should do that. The same thing in baseball

1132
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 16: because you have tough teams basing each other. Okay, in

1133
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 16: baseball that shouldn't be playing in the divisional and in football,

1134
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 16: if you have the most wins, you get a home game,

1135
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 16: not only because we have two or three week divisions

1136
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 16: every year and it's not fair for the teams that

1137
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 16: play that really play great, they should be.

1138
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement with you. I'm an agreement with you

1139
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: the luck of the draw. You may be in a

1140
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 2: very tough division, you're fifteen in two, but you don't

1141
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: you don't get the same courtesy as the NFC South

1142
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Winterhead a much worse record. We're an agreement. What are

1143
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: your thoughts on March madness and where there are any upsets?

1144
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 16: I don't we nil?

1145
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: That's what I think.

1146
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, basically, that's what it is.

1147
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 16: And our I was telling me and uh, regarding the

1148
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 16: push push, I said, Aron Rogers had left the Green

1149
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 16: Bay Packers. Why are they whining?

1150
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Now's your own three against Philadelphia. That's the reason it's

1151
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 2: clear day to me.

1152
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, they should.

1153
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 16: They should never let let it get to that point.

1154
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: And that's why that's another good point. Another too thoughtful, Gilberto,

1155
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 2: you make you make too much sense.

1156
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 16: I know what's wrong with me?

1157
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:33,479
Speaker 2: All right, tell anything else?

1158
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 16: Listen and regarding Bronnie James. One day he's going to

1159
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 16: score thirty points in trash time. Nobody cares. I mean,

1160
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 16: that's that's something that nobody cares. The kid plays. I mean,

1161
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 16: the Bugs are a great team. They just let him. Okay, shoot,

1162
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 16: don't don't, It doesn't matter. Let's see what they do

1163
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 16: in the playoffs, and let's see if he's in the

1164
01:02:58,200 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 16: roster in the playoffs.

1165
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 2: All right, my man, two things, Buenoswerte and Via condos.

01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 2: the fix it in. I want to hear what you've

1186
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: got to say.

1187
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 17: Well, you know, I'm just coming off as I'm doing

1188
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 17: some Sunday It's Sunday afternoon here doing some errands. Not

1189
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 17: too long ago. I just finished watching Tennessee beat up.

1190
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 9: On U C.

1191
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 13: L A.

1192
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 17: And you know, I think, if they can playing really

1193
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 17: nice defense, a rebound, well, if they can just shoot

1194
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 17: the ball a little over mediocrity, maybe a tendancy the

1195
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 17: first ever Final four or could coach Barnes.

1196
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: There Yeah Barnes yep, he teases you that way. Man.

1197
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 2: He look like they're gonna do it. And then I

1198
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 2: think they're gonna run into Florida some time in the brackets,

1199
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 2: So they're gonna have to solve that.

1200
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 17: Do you have any know we would have to run.

1201
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 17: We're gonna have to run to Florida at some point.

1202
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 17: Everyone will. But we did beat him by twenty this year. Well,

1203
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 17: I don't know we're gonna do that again. Yep, we

1204
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 17: did take him out one.

1205
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Yep. Any thoughts on the March madness, whether they have

1206
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 2: him any upsets or the NFL rules change or Brownie, Well.

1207
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 17: I think you know that at the end. But why

1208
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 17: there's not any upsets? You know, we're not done yet.

1209
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 17: We could get more upsets. And I need a little

1210
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 17: more sample size to just declaire ni L's nil is

1211
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 17: ruining and all that. I need a little more sample

1212
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 17: size before I do that. And when it comes to

1213
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 17: the Toush push you know, I said, I'm a DC guy.

1214
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 17: I can't stand the Eagles, but these guys that are

1215
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 17: lining about the Tousch push rule have to change it

1216
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 17: every other play, every other fan out there, if their

1217
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 17: teams could run it to the efficiency the Eagles can,

1218
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 17: they would be all for it.

1219
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 2: There it is, and they've tried. There have been I

1220
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 2: think us have tried sixty Yeah, they've tried. Yeah. Right,

1221
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: you do a.

1222
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 17: Better jobs, build a better mouse trap, stop this one.

1223
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 17: You know, do that first.

1224
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Hey, Paul, don't be a stranger man turns out on

1225
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: mid days in Tokyo. You're welcome in every It may

1226
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 2: not be the midnight hour, literally where you're at.

1227
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 17: Well, you know something, if you're in the drive time

1228
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 17: in the afternoon, you're on during Russia and the biggest

1229
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 17: city in the west.

1230
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 2: Populated city in the world.

1231
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 17: You need to re up your contract.

1232
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean to go. Maybe you could be my agent, Paul.

1233
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what you do for laving. Maybe you

1234
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: can be my agent. Hey, seriously, I'm seeing don't be

1235
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: a dream Go ahead, right, all right, buddy, all right, Bud, good,

1236
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 2: good to hear from you. Thank you, Paul, and Tokyo.

1237
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 2: Let's go to the other end of the spectrum. Howard

1238
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 2: in New York joins the Bernie Fraishow. Welcome in, Howard.

1239
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 2: How are you? How are you doing well?

1240
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 18: I'm totally against receding by record. Then you might as

1241
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 18: well not have divisions. I know when the season starts,

1242
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 18: those six games that my favorite team plays are the

1243
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 18: most important games of the season. They mean winning the division,

1244
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 18: which has meaning. They mean getting a home a home game,

1245
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 18: which is meaning. I think it's an overreaction to what

1246
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 18: happens occasionally where a not so great team wins their division,

1247
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 18: but that usually sorts itself out anyway.

1248
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 2: Howard I appreciate your candor, but weren't the Lions six

1249
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 2: and zero against their division this year? Their two losses

1250
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 2: were to Buffalo and UH and Tampa Bay. No, I'm

1251
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 2: not disavowing your point. I think it's well crafted. But

1252
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: the Lions were six to zero in their division and

1253
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,919
Speaker 2: had a better record than the AFC the NFC South

1254
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 2: champion yet and it doesn't happen very often, So anyway,

1255
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 2: it's not worth really debate. I appreciate your thoughts. So

1256
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: you don't want to change it? No, no change? How

1257
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 2: about the touch?

1258
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 18: I don't want to change. But also in terms of

1259
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 18: Lebronni James, I know nobody on Earth deserves to be

1260
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 18: in the position that this kid is in. That that's

1261
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 18: really he's in a difficult spot, and he has my

1262
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 18: sympathy personally. I think they should have put him in

1263
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 18: the G League for a couple of years and let

1264
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 18: him and let it and let you know, and let

1265
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 18: him learn his craft.

1266
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: Fair enough. Any thoughts on why there aren't han't been

1267
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: any upsets in March Madness?

1268
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 18: No, but it's it is my favorite three weeks in sports.

1269
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 18: It's the only place where Cinderella lives at this point

1270
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 18: they used to, or at least at least they used

1271
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 18: to versus this year. Yeah, you know it's I mean,

1272
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 18: obviously you can't do it in football. There's no way

1273
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:14,479
Speaker 18: mcneise States beat mcnease State beats Alabama, you know, nor.

1274
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: Would they be given a chance. It's honestly impossible.

1275
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,879
Speaker 18: We know Ohio State, we know Alabama, we know Chargia,

1276
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 18: and perhaps somebody else gets in.

1277
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Hey Howard, I appreciate your thoughts tonight, and don't be

1278
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 2: a stranger on the Bernie Frowner Show. Okay, thank you,

1279
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 2: Thank you, David from here in Las Vegas. Welcome in

1280
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 2: David to the Bernie Frowner Show.

1281
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 7: Hey, Bernie, First of all, thank you for doing your show.

1282
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 7: I think it's the most intelligent, well thought out, an

1283
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 7: informative sports radio show.

1284
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1285
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 7: I know you're not doing this many nights anymore, but

1286
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 7: whenever it comes on, I really appreciate here.

1287
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 2: Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate that.

1288
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 7: On the NFL rule changes. First of all, the division

1289
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 7: winners in the home game, I'm coming around. I have

1290
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 7: been like your previous car, thinking that win the division

1291
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 7: needs to be an important thing, and I would up

1292
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 7: till very recently, I would have defended them getting the

1293
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 7: home game too, But do seem to be these extreme cases,

1294
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 7: and maybe you were really over rewarding these division winners

1295
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 7: with wolsy records. It's just for playing in a lousy division.

1296
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: I like the way. I like the way you crafted that. Okay,

1297
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 2: it's quite simple and straightforward, concise, because the truth of

1298
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 2: the matter is this doesn't happen very often in their outliers.

1299
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 2: But I think the division championship should not be an

1300
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 2: inflexible anchor. It should be a guideline. Because if your

1301
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 2: team was fifteen to two and didn't win their division

1302
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and oh, by the way, some other

1303
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 2: division was nine to eight and they get a better

1304
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 2: playoff seeding by virtue of winning their division even though

1305
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 2: they were in a lesser division, that seems fundamentally unfair

1306
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 2: to me, just my thought.

1307
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 7: I still think they should get a playoff spot, even

1308
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 7: if they're sevens with better records.

1309
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'm hope.

1310
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 7: I'm coming around. I haven't completely cover around.

1311
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 2: I'm coming around, and I.

1312
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 7: Disagree with you completely on the Tooch pushka. I just

1313
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 7: think I don't think it's a play that wouldn't have

1314
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 7: always been legal, and half of all has been legal.

1315
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 7: I think there are so many rules on both sides

1316
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 7: of the ball keeping you from leveraging, lifting, pulling, jumping,

1317
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 7: over all kinds of things, and historically pushing other players.

1318
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 7: It just hasn't been considered legal football, and I don't

1319
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 7: think it should be. I just I just don't think

1320
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 7: you should be able to get behind some of the

1321
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 7: in pushing. I just don't think it's really football, you know,

1322
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 7: I think it's rugby, and I would just assume we

1323
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 7: go back to rules where you can't you can't do

1324
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 7: that kind of assistance.

1325
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: Well, and that has been the comor argument basically, David, Dad,

1326
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 2: it's a rugby play more than a football play. That

1327
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: it's been here for four years, so fair enough.

1328
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 7: Any closing thoughts, I'm standing by that one, all right.

1329
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 2: No, and I appreciate that, David. Thank you, thanks for

1330
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 2: thinking about check in. And as I said, the best

1331
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 2: of conversations are the ones where people don't agree, so

1332
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 2: I respect varying opinions. The Midnight Hour will continue Jay

1333

Speaker 2: dot Brock and Alberta, Manuel and Guardina will be up next.

1339
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: Welcome into the Bernie Frattle Show.

1340
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 8: Yo, I said, Jace Harmon, what is up, Yoe?

1341
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 9: What hey?

1342
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 8: I gotta question why would the Jazz Utah Jazz not

1343
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 8: be able to get the number one pick?

1344
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe I have an answer for you. I'll

1345
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 2: try to research you, my man.

1346
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 8: I don't know, I know, I don't well, why wouldn't

1347
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 8: not they get the number one pick? After look at

1348
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 8: the Lakers, look at the Spurs, look at all the

1349
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 8: other teams, look at Bums.

1350
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Ja Dott, appreciate it. I'm gonna try

1351
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 2: to get an answer for you on that. Fair enough,

1352
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 2: if something you feel passionate about a little off topic.

1353
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's okay, It's what the midnight hours for.

1354
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 2: But I, as someone who is not a fan of

1355
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 2: NBA tanking or things of that nature, I have to

1356
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 2: look at the machinations and who's lined up to get

1357
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 2: the lottery picked et cetera, et cetera. You get the point.

1358
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,839
Speaker 2: Brock and Alberta a regular on the midnight hour, Welcome

1359
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 2: back in. How are you hey, Bonnie?

1360
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:47,720
Speaker 19: How are we going on?

1361
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 2: Good? Thanks?

1362
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 19: Awesome brother. To get to Brownie, then talk about Brownie first,

1363
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 19: to start with that first of all, that game he

1364
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 19: had against Denver, I think I was the one he

1365
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:03,440
Speaker 19: had seventhing points in prest I believe so, yes, yeah,

1366
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 19: So I think, like I said before about him, I

1367
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 19: think he's I think I think he had a great future.

1368
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 19: I think in the future of that in time he

1369
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 19: has a he could be in the NBA. Like I

1370
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 19: said before, I just think right now it's just he's

1371
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 19: being the G League and then coming later, you know.

1372
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 19: I think That's how I'm looking at it. So and

1373
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 19: then NFL wise, Aaron Rodgers, That's what I'm going to

1374
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 19: talk about is Aaron Rodgers. He becomes such a flake

1375
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 19: and you know, poison to the NFL that nobody wants them.

1376
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 19: I mean, you look at what happened with the Jets

1377
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 19: last year. It was horrendous.

1378
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 2: Well, there's no question I do think Pittsburgh wants him.

1379
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: But there's going to be obviously, you know.

1380
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 19: Some Well, go ahead, Well, I think I think I

1381
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 19: think the problem is too they gave him too much control.

1382
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 19: And I think, honestly, Bernie, maybe hopefully you agree with

1383
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 19: me on this. I think sometimes too much control is

1384
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 19: not good control.

1385
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 9: You know, I.

1386
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 2: Completely agree, especially when you're not going to produce results.

1387
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 2: And a little later in the show, I'm going to

1388
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 2: compair Aaron Rodgers numbers to Russell Wilson's numbers in the

1389
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 2: last three years, and you know, it's pretty pretty eye

1390
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 2: opening anything on on BRIDI James.

1391
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 19: Well, like I said, I think give him time. He

1392
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 19: has a great future.

1393
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 2: But that's about it.

1394
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 19: And one last thing I was going to add to

1395
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 19: Kevin durantson saying a lot of stuff over the week

1396
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 19: to tweeting back to people and you know, skip baylist

1397
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 19: and all that kind of stuff. But I'm going to

1398
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 19: say this, he saved Steph Curry's legacy. There's no way

1399
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 19: the Warriors beat Lebron twice in a row in twenty

1400
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 19: seventeen or twenty eighteen about Durant. I mean, Lebron widout

1401
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 19: six rings right now. If it was over Katie.

1402
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Fairness, that may very well be true. Hey, appreciate you

1403
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,759
Speaker 2: as always, Brock hold it down there up in Alberta.

1404
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 2: But by the way, for what it's worth, Tjay Dot.

1405
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 2: If the draft were hell today, it looks like Utah

1406
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 2: might have the number one pick overall and they would

1407
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 2: probably go for They've lost nine straight, they have the

1408
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 2: worst record heading into the March Madness Tournament, and wouldn't

1409
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: that be something if they got Cooper Flag. So something

1410
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 2: to watch. We'll get into NBA draft talk. That's way

1411
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 2: down the road later in June. Ladies and gentlemen, boys

1412
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 2: and girls, Wait, the kids, Alert, the neighbors, Grandpa, put

1413
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 2: on pants. We welcome in the legend, Manuel in Guardiana.

1414
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:17,839
Speaker 2: What's happening? Manuel?

1415
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 12: I'm going to wait till the midnight out they say,

1416
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 12: I'm laving, but it takes so much time.

1417
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Hey, ajent Kymas Simon car.

1418
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, hey so quickly. I'm gonna touch one of

1419
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 12: the subjects that nobody's been wanting to touch, kind of

1420
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 12: like a Bronnie James trade proposal. Sanders thing. I think

1421
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 12: that is a brilliant idea frame game with two different teams.

1422
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 12: I mean, everybody knows. You know, what are you gonna

1423
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 12: do for your football picks? Watch the xfil and bring

1424
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 12: come on. Nobody watches that crap. So I mean, I

1425
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 12: think Dion may have just stumbled upon something that can

1426
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 12: be huge, although you know, with an injury factor and

1427
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 12: such that maybe may people may want to shy away

1428
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 12: from it.

1429
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: But I think, Hey, if you're listening after the top

1430
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 2: of the hour, I'm going to give a commentary. Manuel.

1431
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 2: You may already know this. Both Syracuse and Colorado has

1432
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 2: filed paperwork with the NCAA requesting the ability to hold

1433
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 2: that game and if they're going to meet on April tenth.

1434
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 2: The NCAA Division Oversight Committee is going to meet on

1435
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 2: April tenth, and they may allow it, so continue on.

1436
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 12: Hey, that's a change I can get behind, and I

1437
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 12: will be listening, like I always listen to your full show.

1438
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 9: Baby.

1439
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:50,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1440
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 12: Man, As far as that rule change, I like, I

1441
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 12: don't care about the too push one, but the other

1442
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 12: one I think it's necessary. Do you have to start receding? Okay,

1443
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 12: if you're gonna give these teams, these craft teams they

1444
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 12: are seven and nine or well now seven and ten,

1445
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 12: right or eight and nine a home game just because

1446
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 12: they were the best of a terrible division, then okay,

1447
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 12: I know the owners are going to be up in

1448
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 12: arms about it because they want that home game.

1449
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 9: But then you should.

1450
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 12: Recede the next week, and then you go top to

1451
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 12: bottom whoever the best team is, because they shouldn't be

1452
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 12: awarded a second game if they're going to be coming

1453
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 12: up against a team with a much better record, you

1454
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 12: know what I mean. So I would be in favor

1455
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 12: of that rule. Change the push push. I think like

1456
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 12: your other guy was saying, Hey, man, build a better mousetrap,

1457
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 12: do a better job. Everybody has that opportunity, so just

1458
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 12: learn how to defend it, you know, stop crying over spilled.

1459
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 9: It is what it is.

1460
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 2: Man, Well, great job as always, baseball, hot dogs, apple

1461
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 2: Pie and Manuel and Guardiana. You enjoy your Sunday, my.

1462
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 12: Friend, he appreciate you.

1463
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: Bernie Callers, fantastic job. Then I don't want to get

1464
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 2: through a couple of tweets on this subject. A d

1465
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 2: a Russian kid hobby Bernie. Let's start with Dion Sanders idea, yes,

1466
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: but make it similar. Hard knocks Mike up coaches and

1467
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 2: star players. Number two, the tousch pushes a rugby play,

1468
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 2: not a football play. Boring three, do not change playoffs seating.

1469
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 2: Every team needs to worry about winning their division. Okay,

1470
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 2: some thoughtful points, Spock swed my man, Bernie. I don't

1471
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 2: have the stuff to call in the night, but I

1472
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 2: do have one opinion on the tush push rule. If

1473
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 2: you don't like the toush push, then don't let Philly

1474
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 2: get the fourth and two or fourth and one on

1475
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 2: any possession. Fair enough, Okay, Dan Rivera my guy listening

1476
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 2: to Bernie Frautle Fox Sports Radio. Part of the reason

1477
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 2: the upsets in March Madness is nil, but also matchups.

1478
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 2: March is about matchups, and some teams are paper tigers,

1479
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 2: but they didn't get a good matchup for them to

1480
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,759
Speaker 2: be exposed early. So far, Missouri got an awful matchup.

1481
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 2: Yet Drake's a hell of a team, no doubt about

1482
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 2: their Dan knows this stuff. Coming up. After the top

1483
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 2: of the hour, I'm gonna give you some details on

1484
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 2: Dion's ID. It's not bad and my thoughts sound missing.

1485
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: March Madness upsets and what we've been used to in

1486
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 2: past years, and we got a whole lot of other

1487
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 2: stuff to get to as well. I promise you that

1488
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 2: we're nowhere near I got a tribute to George Foreman.

1489
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 2: We got some stuff on the quarterback carousel coming to

1490
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 2: a close. Aaron Rodgers don't oh yeah, brand new fool

1516
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 2: great United States, and our regulars appreciate everybody. One of

1517
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 2: the topics we talked about was Deon Sanders. He has

1518
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 2: a fresh idea. While some colleges, universities and their football

1519
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: programs are vacating their spring game, not only is Dion

1520
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 2: playing one, he's going to have his televised, but he

1521
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 2: wants to take it a step further. Colorado and now

1522
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 2: Syracuse has joined the fight. For lack of a better word,

1523
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 2: they find paperwork of the NCAA requesting the ability to

1524
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 2: hold spring practices and a spring game against each other

1525
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 2: in April. So Syracuse's coach Fran Brown doubled down on

1526
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: the idea. Now, while the NCAA bylaws prevent teams from

1527
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 2: holding intercollegiate practices or exhibition games, each other against the spring,

1528
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: against each other in the spring. Well, on April tenth,

1529
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 2: the nca Division one FBS oversight Committee is going to meet.

1530
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,600
Speaker 2: They could actually decide to allow this waiver. Now, Colorado's

1531
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 2: spring game is currently scheduled for April nineteenth in Boulder.

1532
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 2: Fran Brown and the Syracuse Orange offered to fly his

1533
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 2: roster out for the game. Syracuse already has this spring

1534
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 2: game scheduled for April twelve. Brown went on to say, quote,

1535
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 2: for us to be the first to do it at

1536
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 2: historic schools would mean a lot. Two African American men

1537
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: to have the opportunity of doing that means a lot.

1538
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 2: Especially with Deon Sanders being an icon I would watch.

1539
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 2: I think this is a fantastic idea, perhaps an idea

1540
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 2: whose time has come. Give it up to Dion and

1541
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 2: Fran Brown. And just this past Monday, Deon Sanders pitched

1542
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: the idea of scrimmaging another college football team as they

1543
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 2: prepare for their nationally televised spring game. Now, many major programs, again,

1544
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 2: as I said, have decided to cancel their spring games altogether.

1545
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 2: Why well, they're concerned about injuries they're concerned about death

1546
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 2: pieces getting scottered for the transfer portal. But if you

1547
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 2: practice against another live opponent, that creates a new model,

1548
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: which is already done in the NFL. Dion went on

1549
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,799
Speaker 2: to say, to have a competitive game against your own guys, quote,

1550
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: it's kind of monotonous. You can't really tell the level

1551
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,759
Speaker 2: of your guys because it's the same old, same way.

1552
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 2: I would like to play against someone else for a

1553
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 2: few days. Then you have the spring game, and I

1554
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 2: think the public would be satisfied with that tremendously. I'm

1555
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 2: in agreement. Dion went on to say, I think it's

1556
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,600
Speaker 2: a tremendous idea. I've told those personnel who should understand

1557
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 2: it's a tremendous idea. Now, fran Brown, in response quickly

1558
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 2: offered to travel the Boulder and it's off and running.

1559
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 2: So let's see what happens on April tenth. Now we

1560
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 2: all know a game of this nature would bring a

1561
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 2: lot of attention to Colorado and both programs because Syracuse

1562
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 2: actually went under the radar. Is one of the most

1563
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 2: improved teams in college football last year, and I can

1564
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 2: second that they came to Las Vegas and passed the

1565
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 2: ball silly against a very good unv run and rebel defense.

1566
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 2: With their transfer quarterback from Ohio State and under Fran Brown,

1567
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 2: they jumped to ten wins last year and they got

1568
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,879
Speaker 2: a number twenty one slot in the college football rankings,

1569
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,720
Speaker 2: and it was only their second ten win season in

1570
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 2: twenty years. Buffalo's meanwhile, they're not far behind. Just two

1571
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 2: years ago they were one and eleven and nine to

1572
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 2: four last year. So both Syracuse and Colorado going through

1573
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 2: major periods of transition. The Boffs obviously lost Travis Hunter,

1574
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 2: they lost your Doors Sanders. Syracuse lost their quarterback Kyle McCord,

1575
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 2: who led the nation of passing through for forty eight

1576
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 2: hundred yards and college with college football games going extinct, basically,

1577
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 2: I think what that does is eliminates opportunities for fans

1578
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 2: to come to the stadium in the spring, watched their

1579
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 2: favorite college team in a discount, and grow your fan base.

1580
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Do I think it's a good idea. I think it's

1581
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,520
Speaker 2: a very clever idea, and I hope the Oversight Committee

1582
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 2: vote stumps up on April tenth. We will continue to

1583
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 2: monitor this and follow it with any updates. Now back

1584
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 2: to March Madness, Look, I don't want to, you know,

1585
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 2: overstate this or overthink it, but you really are not

1586
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 2: seeing the you know, the Mercers over or the Baltimore Maryland, Maryland,

1587
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 2: Baltimore counties over Virginia's. You've had a couple of one

1588
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 2: versus sixteen's two, you've had the two versus fifteens, you've

1589
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 2: had the three versus fourteens. We're not seeing a lot

1590
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 2: of competitive games, a lot of double digit wins. And

1591
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 2: now that you get into the sweet sixteen, I mean,

1592
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 2: you know there's eight games tomorrow Sunday, check that later today,

1593
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: and is it a little different. Listen, I'm still enjoying

1594
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 2: March Madness. It's like getting a pizza. Okay, you're always

1595
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 2: gonna enjoy it. You I don't give a dam if

1596
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 2: it's a frozen pizza, your favorite New York styles, cargo,

1597
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 2: deep dish. You're gonna enjoy it's pizza. But has March Man.

1598
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: It's been missing the buzzer beaters and big upsets in

1599
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 2: one shiny moments that people have come to notice. Okay,

1600
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,879
Speaker 2: the first round of the NCAA tournament was complete Friday.

1601
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 2: The bracket was completely void of buzzer beaters. And what

1602
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 2: I would consider major upsets. You didn't see Fairleigh Dickinson

1603
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 2: beat a Purdue or as I just said, a multi

1604
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 2: of Maryland Baltimore County takedown Virginia. In years past, we've

1605
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 2: seen Princeton beat at number two seed Arizona, Saint Peter's

1606
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 2: chopped down Kentucky, a massive blue butter. For years ago,

1607
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: the top four seeds would have combined sixteen to zero

1608
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 2: in the first round for the first time in eight

1609
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 2: years and only the sixth time since the field expanded

1610
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 2: to sixty four teams forty years ago. The top two

1611
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 2: scenes would by an average nearly twenty seven points, the

1612
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 2: best the bracket hands for upset so far, he's a

1613
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 2: couple of twelve seeds over fives. But that's been happening

1614
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 2: over the years. That's happening at an almost a forty

1615
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 2: percent clip. In the last ten years, Colorado State was

1616
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half points. They were a

1617
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 2: twelve seed over Memphis, who was shorthanded lost their point guard.

1618
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 2: Colorado State won seventy eight to seventy Is that really

1619
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 2: an upset? Number twelve in Knee State and their aura

1620
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 2: who's following will wade to North Carolina State. Yes, the

1621
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 2: outlasted Clemson after getting a big lead, almost blew a

1622
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 2: twelve point lead. But that's a good program, all right,

1623
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 2: not that big of an upset. Some people saw it coming.

1624
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't one of them, but I know how good

1625
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: McNee State was number eleven seed, Drake the hell of

1626
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 2: a program. They had a mild a mild first round surprise.

1627
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: They took down number seed Missouri sixty seven fifty seven.

1628
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 2: But eleven over in a six is even more common

1629
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 2: than a twelve beating of five. Okay, It's just that

1630
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: everything is juxtaposed against expectations. College fans expect buzzer beaters

1631
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 2: in March. Now, we may get him. We may get

1632
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 2: him Sunday, we may get him in this week sixteen round.

1633
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 2: All right. There was one kind of sort of almost

1634
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 2: sort of close a player by the name of Omar

1635
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 2: Knox last Tuesday. He plays for Alabama State. He scored

1636
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 2: on a layup with one second left. Alabama State beat

1637
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 2: Saint Francis seventy to sixty eight in the first four

1638
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 2: and Tuesday. But it wasn't exactly watching you know, Pittsnagul

1639
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 2: or Bryce Drew or grand Hill and Christian later. It

1640
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 2: wasn't exactly that. Vanderbilt almost had its shiny moment, only

1641
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 2: to see Devin mcloughton. I believe he was a transfer

1642
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 2: from I forget where he had a three point attempt.

1643
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 2: It clanked off the back of the rim. They lost. Vanderbilt,

1644
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: A plucky Vanderbilt team from the best conference in college

1645
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 2: basketball lost to a very good Saint Mary's team fifty

1646
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 2: nine to fifty six, now number ten. New Mexico had

1647
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 2: the only upset among the late games on Friday. They

1648
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 2: took down Marquette, who was seven seeded seventy five sixty six.

1649
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: I did not see. I had that one wrong. I'm

1650
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 2: not big on Mountain West teams, and Poppy may be right.

1651
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 2: Maybe grabbing New Mexico in the seven points, I don't know.

1652
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 2: I don't see. New Mexico is physical to a point,

1653
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 2: to a different level. You saw. I mean, God bless

1654
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 2: Seth Davis. I mean they pay him to tell you

1655
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 2: that he thought there could be five major upsets. He

1656
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: did come close on UC San Diego. It wouldn't get

1657
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 2: off that, but come on High Point in Utah State

1658
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 2: and some of the other ones he mentioned. Liberty do

1659
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 2: you really mean that, I mean, it's really your money,

1660
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,799
Speaker 2: if you're really your shekels. Does that mean the bracket's

1661
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 2: been boring? No, no, No, it's just that we haven't

1662
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 2: had that spectacle. People have to come to realize. And

1663
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: I attributed frankly to you know, the nil and the

1664
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 2: transfer portal situation. The rich get richer because someone comes

1665
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 2: along with money and you're gonna go A kid's gonna

1666
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 2: go from a mid major to a Power five school

1667
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 2: just the way it is, or maybe you're in the

1668
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 2: transfer portal. It kids can enter the transfer portal and

1669
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 2: then pull themselves back out if they if they didn't,

1670
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 2: you know, find what they want. That doesn't mean there

1671
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 2: weren't some really good game Sunday you could really know.

1672
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 2: No longer consider Gonzaga at mid major nor as Kelvin

1673
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 2: Samson said, were they really an eight seed per se No, No,

1674
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 2: Gonzaga lost eighty one seventy six, but it was really

1675
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 2: tight in the end, and Gonzaga wouldn't get you know,

1676
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't give up b YU. Right now, they're in the

1677
01:30:54,760 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Big twelve. Now, they frankly ran an offensive masterclass against

1678
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 2: a very good number seed Wisconsin team and you know

1679
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 2: one of the other callers, I forget it was. I'll

1680
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 2: give you credit by name, he said, Bobby Knight one said,

1681
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 2: he's right, that stupid loses more games and smart wins.

1682
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 2: It didn't help that Greg Guard, who's done a fabulous

1683
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 2: job at Wisconsin, had a real meltdown and cost himself

1684
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 2: a couple of free throws. And you know that he

1685
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: was assessed a technical foul and the player for b Yu,

1686
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 2: Richie Saunders, hit both free throws. The Badgers had closed

1687
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 2: to within six points after being housed. There was still

1688
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes left in the game. But Greg Guard gets

1689
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 2: a technical foul, Saunders hits both free throws, b Yu

1690
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 2: gets the ball and scores in the falling position. That's

1691
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 2: four more points. Guess what BYU won the game ninety

1692
01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:00,080
Speaker 2: one eighty nine. Creighton hung in as long as they

1693
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 2: could as a number nine seed. Auburn was just too

1694
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 2: much Arkansas. This Arkansas team, the way they're constructed and

1695
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 2: the way they got players healthy. Now and when you

1696
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,759
Speaker 2: got six to eleven Jonas to do and Trevon Brazil

1697
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 2: six foot ten, couple of towers on the offensive end,

1698
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they're more potent than the paint.

1699
01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 2: That's not the kind of matchup Saint John's had been

1700
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 2: used to seeing all year. So a number ten seed

1701
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:31,560
Speaker 2: gets it done against Arkansas, against Saint John's. But Arkansas

1702
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 2: came from you know, the SEC, and if you watched

1703
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 2: the SEC this year, many of Arkansas's games they played

1704
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: just well enough to lose. They hung in there, they

1705
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 2: were not overmatched, they just couldn't get over the hump.

1706
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 2: I started out, I think zero to five in conference.

1707
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Drake has everybody's respect. They were an eleven seed. But

1708
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 2: Texas Tech one of the teams to beat Houston this year.

1709
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: They couldn't you know, they hung in there, they just

1710
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 2: couldn't get it done. Michigan, a number five seed, gets

1711
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 2: it done over number four Texas A and m I think,

1712
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 2: and at the end of the day, Vladislav Golden and

1713
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 2: Danny Wolf, both seven footers, were solid for the entire game.

1714
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:16,799
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell happened to UCLA's program.

1715
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman just must be livid with what's going on there.

1716
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 2: They're a number seven seed. They played like a number

1717
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 2: sixteen seed. Yes, Ucla, I'll say this in their quotes

1718
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,759
Speaker 2: only lost by nine, but they were never in this game,

1719
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 2: never McNee State a number twelve seed, they had their

1720
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 2: moment in the sun. But Purdue played with the pedigree

1721
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 2: of a team that was in the national Championship a

1722
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 2: year ago, even though they no longer have Zach Eedy,

1723
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 2: but they do have Trey Kaufman Ren and Braden Smith,

1724
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 2: and they had a very good coach in Matt Painter.

1725
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 2: We'll see what Purdue can do in their next matchup.

1726
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 2: I believe it's against Houston. That ain't going to be easy. Hey,

Speaker 2: Let's take a minute to review the NFL twenty twenty

1742
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:01,800

01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 2: right after we get off the air. Well, it was

1759
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 2: a very busy, crazy quarterback carousel. And trust me, I'm

1760
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 2: going to get Aaron Rodgers here in a minute, and

1761
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to get to Russell Wilson and even Jamis

1762
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 2: Winston and JJ McCarthy. But let's review quickly some of

1763
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 2: the highlights. Lest we forget, the Raiders made a fairly

1764
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 2: big trade. I thought they sent a third round pick

1765
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:21,240
Speaker 2: for thirty four year old Gino Smith. Remember they wrote

1766
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 2: him off, but he ain't right back. What that basically

1767
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 2: says is the Raiders expect to be competitive immediately, or

1768
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 2: at least to attempt to be competitive immediately in the

1769
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 2: Pete Carrole era. Gino Smith's coming off three to ten

1770
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 2: win seasons. He's done a pretty good job. He did

1771
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 2: a good job under Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. Vegas.

1772
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 2: Check that Smith does get a better offensive line, but

1773
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,839
Speaker 2: a major drop off in skilled position talent the Lakers.

1774
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 2: The Raiders have no run game that I can see.

1775
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll draft Ash and Genty, although they do have

1776
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 2: Brock Bowers and I think Jacobe Myers, who is very

1777
01:36:57,120 --> 01:36:59,719
Speaker 2: underrated as a number two, So we'll see what happens there.

1778
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 2: What the hell, they're only in the same division against

1779
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs with Mahomes and the Chargers with Harbaugh and

1780
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and Denver who's very much on their rise.

1781
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 2: A little bit of a smaller deal under the raidar,

1782
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 2: the Browns acquired former first rounder Kenny Pickett, although Kirk Cousins,

1783
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:24,759
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, or a potentially highly drafted quarterback remains starter options.

1784
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 2: The Rebeat reporter for the Browns, Zach Jackson, said he's

1785
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 2: willing to leave that they're open crack for Cleveland by

1786
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 2: selecting Sdor Sanders second overall if cam Word isn't available.

1787
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 2: Do I think that would be smart?

1788
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 5: No?

1789
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 2: I don't.

1790
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 9: Well, what do I know?

1791
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 2: Desperate people do desperate things. The Colts said they wanted

1792
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 2: to give Anthony Richardson some competition for that forty seven

1793
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:56,799
Speaker 2: percent passing completion percentage. That's the Department of Redundancy department.

1794
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 2: So the Colts went out gave Daniel Jones fourteen million.

1795
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 2: That leads me to believe he'll be the starter unless

1796
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 2: he botches it, which I don't think you will. But

1797
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 2: I do think Anthony Richardson, who's still only twenty two,

1798
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 2: still on a rookie contract. He may still be given

1799
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 2: every opportunity to start Week one, but listen, it doesn't

1800
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 2: you kind of know what you have there. I just

1801
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 2: say it in terms of no competition whatsoever. This is

1802
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 2: a reunion of sorts. The forty nine Ers added former

1803
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 2: number fifteen pick Mac Jones. Remember three years ago, in

1804
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, four years ago when I will go

1805
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 2: to my grave believing that Kyle Shanahan wanted mac Jones

1806
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 2: and not Trey Lance, and they traded three first round

1807
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 2: draft picks. But the number fifteen pick will back up

1808
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 2: number mister irrelevant, former mister irrelevant, number two hundred and

1809
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 2: sixty two pick Brock Purdy. And by the way, the

1810
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 2: Steelers brought back Mason Rudolph's insurance behind whoever starts for them.

1811
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to get to that a minute. Chiefs gave

1812
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew a one year deal to back up Patrick Mahomes,

1813
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 2: and the Dolphins added former AFC East rival and Matt

1814
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 2: and I Idl Zach Wilson to a one year, six

1815
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:14,719
Speaker 2: million dollar contract. The most unique interesting deal the Ravens

1816
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:18,720
Speaker 2: Well Lamar Jackson averages sixty rushing yards per game, So

1817
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,799
Speaker 2: why not the Ravens go out. They signed Cooper Rush.

1818
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 2: He's rushed for twenty four yards in his entire career.

1819
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 2: How about pairing up Matthew Stafford and returning backup Jimmy

1820
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 2: g Their combined age seventy. Jimmy G will make thirteen

1821
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 2: and a half million. And if you ever see Jimmy

1822
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 2: g Anders center this year, it better be a blowout.

1823
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 2: Otherwise that means something bad has happened to Matt Stafford,

1824
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,680
Speaker 2: and I like Jimmy G. By the way, the neediest

1825
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 2: perhaps quarterback team need the Titans, who added a bunch

1826
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 2: of offensive linemen. Though everything suggests Will Levis is no

1827
01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 2: longer their starter. I will predict this is no longer

1828
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 2: even a prediction. It's probably just a fact that will

1829
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 2: be revealed on draft night. I will be shocked, beyond

1830
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:13,799
Speaker 2: shocked if the Tennessee Titans don't draft cam Ward number one. Overall,

1831
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 2: they liked him, they become even more enamored with them

1832
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 2: during the pre draft process. Seriously, okay, all right, Oh,

1833
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 2: by the way, for anybody who needs more Kirk Cousins

1834
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 2: in their life, Netflix is producing a second season of

1835
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 2: the behind the scenes documentary Quarterback Again, Why I don't know,

1836
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 2: starring Kirk Cousins alongside Joe Burrow and Jared Goff. Have've

1837
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 2: even got a trailer out, uh, and Kirk Cousins will

1838
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 2: be back with the Falcons. He got it, you know,

1839
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 2: the better he once he crossed a certain day, he

1840
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 2: was eligible for the ten million dollars you know, roster

1841
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 2: bonus as if he needs it. All right, Aaron Rodgers.

1842
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 2: So we've got the Steelers and the Giants. Holders are

1843
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 2: the number twenty one and three picks, respectively, appear to

1844
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 2: be waiting on whatever Aaron Rodgers decide to do, as

1845
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 2: he has declined the Vikings for now. So if you

1846
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: land the forty one year old Aaron Rodgers and you're

1847
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, that doesn't necessarily mean or even the Giants

1848
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 2: who just recently signed Jameis Winston to a two year

1849
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 2: deal for eight million. But we all know he's not

1850
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback. Think what you want. I like the guy,

1851
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 2: but he throws too many damn interceptions. There he went

1852
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,600
Speaker 2: thirty for thirty. Six of those interceptions were on in

1853
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 2: the first quarter. Six were when they had the lead.

1854
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 2: Six were in were picked sixes. I mean, look, you're

1855
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,440
Speaker 2: never gonna like an interception, but they were killer interceptions.

1856
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 2: And I know somebody on Twitter will defend him. Knock

1857
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 2: yourself out, knock yourself out. How's that working out for you?

1858
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 2: But back to Aaron Rodgers, by the way, Russell Wilson

1859
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 2: is not my understanding. And I'm gonna get to this

1860
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:58,440
Speaker 2: more in a second. The Steelers have not necessarily completely

1861
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 2: one hundred percent close the door on Russell Wilson. But

1862
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 2: let's compare Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. In the last

1863
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 2: three seasons, Rogers had a record of fourteen and twenty one.

1864
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson had a one lost record of seventeen and

1865
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 2: twenty four. Rogers completes sixty three percent of his passes.

1866
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson completes sixty three percent of his passes. Rogers

1867
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 2: throws for about two hundred and sixteen yards a game.

1868
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson throws for two hundred and twenty one yards

1869
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 2: a game. In the last three years, Aaron Rodgers he

1870
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 2: has throwing fifty four touchdown passes against twenty four interceptions.

1871
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is throwing fifty eight touchdown passes against twenty

1872
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 2: four interceptions, and if you're really scoring at home and

1873
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 2: hopefully are, Rogers has a passer rating of ninety point

1874
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 2: seven and Russell Wilson ninety two point two. So what

1875
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 2: does it all mean? Pee wee hell, I don't know.

1876
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 2: I do know this. Aaron Rodgers did visit with the

1877
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, according to the Pittsburgh Post Consette,

1878
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 2: and it's been confirmed by other NFL insiders. However, it

1879
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 2: still feels, based on people who are certainly much closer

1880
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 2: to the situation than I am, that Rogers is not

1881
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 2: going to make his decision anytime soon, and Rodgers left

1882
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 2: the team facility without an agreement in place.

1883
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 13: Now.

1884
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't blame Cam Hayward for speaking

1885
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 2: his mind about you want to be here or not.

1886
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 2: He since walked back those comments. I'm not sure why.

1887
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 2: I think Pittsburgh's very concerned right now. You got Mason Rudolph.

1888
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 2: Nothing against Mason Rudolph, but I don't think he's a

1889
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:54,720
Speaker 2: bona fide starter in the league. So what do you did?

1890
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:58,440
Speaker 2: You stick with Russell wilsoner? Do you wait? As Aaron Rodgers,

1891
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 2: whose agent believes he's doing the right thing because he

1892
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:05,759
Speaker 2: believes patience becomes leverage. I'm not so sure he's wrong.

1893
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 2: But Rogers, if you want to be there, if you

1894
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 2: want to play football next year, Colin Cowartz surmised that

1895
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 2: if didn't Minnesota want to me, he might just retire.

1896
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 2: I can't see that. I could be wrong. I don't

1897
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 2: see that Aaron Rodgers wants to go out the way

1898
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 2: he went out last year, and he already said he'd

1899
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 2: want to go out the way he went out the

1900
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 2: year before with the injury. So apparently, you know, when

1901
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:33,519
Speaker 2: you look at Rogers and Pittsburgh, there has to be

1902
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:40,280
Speaker 2: a contract in place, right and those contract parameters apparently

1903
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 2: have been in place for weeks, But yet money allegedly

1904
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 2: was not discussed during an Aaron Rodgers visit Friday. He

1905
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 2: was merely a chance for both sides to get to

1906
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 2: know one another. What that guy's been in the league

1907
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 2: since Moby Dick was a Minno. You know, he's a

1908
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 2: complete load in the shorts when he wants to be.

1909
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 2: He has no fear future and TV when he's done.

1910
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:05,040
Speaker 2: I kind of like Aaron Rodgers as I do. But

1911
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:08,879
Speaker 2: he's very annoying. No one can disagree with that. Apparently

1912
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 2: Rogers spent his day in Pittsburgh. I doubt he went

1913
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 2: to some of the fine museums. He revolves around meeting

1914
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 2: with coaches and he is sorting through his options. Well,

1915
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 2: his options are the New York Giants or the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1916
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 2: All right, we can assume that Rogers spent time with

1917
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 2: Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who, by the way, seems

1918
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 2: to have had some success with Ryan Tanney Hill and

1919
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 2: Justin Fields. And again, I think Pittsburgh is much closer

1920
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 2: to winning than people realize. Why. You know, you have

1921
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 2: a George Pickens, who's an elite receiver. You bring in

1922
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 2: a DK Mettletcalf and you send the world this message that,

1923
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 2: my god, we got a couple of targets. We can't

1924
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 2: wait to not have Justin Fields. We don't need him.

1925
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 2: They don't want him throw into those targets. You got

1926
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 2: to a guy that can get him the ball. You've

1927
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: already seen the Russell Wilson act in Pittsburgh wasn't terrible.

1928
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers in theory hope Springs Eternal might have

1929
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:12,719
Speaker 2: a higher ceiling Field's elected to sign with the Jets

1930
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 2: and free agency instead of resigning with Pittsburgh. You know

1931
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 2: how I feel about Justin Fields. A man of very

1932
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 2: high calendar, a solid professional, a great teammate, a great

1933
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 2: locker room guy. He is the college version of a

1934
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:31,559
Speaker 2: Reid option only quarterback whose default mechanism is to run.

1935
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 2: It's got to be maddening if you're an offensive coordinator.

1936
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 2: As he watches wide receivers one wide open and he says, I,

1937
01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 2: what the hell, I'll do that whirling dervish, take off

1938
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 2: and run and run seventy five yards in Game three? Oh,

1939
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 2: I'll every now and then he'll break one off and

1940
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 2: go sixty yards and go there go that man. Okay,

1941
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 2: that's not how you play quarterback in the NFL. He's

1942
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 2: fourteen and three as a starter for a reason. Why

1943
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 2: I digress? Why am I on him? Rogers has reportedly

1944
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:03,560
Speaker 2: obviously spent the last couple of weeks trying to decide

1945
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:07,440
Speaker 2: between signing with the Steelers, the New York Giants, or retirement.

1946
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 2: As Aaron Rodgers said in his Netflix special, many times

1947
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 2: he suffered what are called ego deaths. Had to be

1948
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 2: an ego death when the Minnesota Vikings, who'd been kind

1949
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,080
Speaker 2: of linked to the Rogers, reportedly decided to move instead

1950
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 2: forward with JJ McCarthy, who missed his entire rookie season

1951
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 2: due to an injury. Obviously, and you really got to

1952
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 2: love the way head coach Kevin McConnell O'Connell in Minnesota

1953
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 2: was so diplomatic in his public statement. He says, not

1954
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 2: for now, not for now. Yeah, I don't know that

1955
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 2: it's anytime soon, but you don't rule anything out. I

1956
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 2: frankly would have liked to see an Aaron then on offense.

1957
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 2: But the problem is when you get Aaron, you get

1958
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 2: all the mischieg gost that comes with it, and they

1959
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,719
Speaker 2: don't want that. He still is a four time league MVP.

1960
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 2: He's coming off at twenty twenty four season and saw

1961
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 2: him rank in the top ten. Believe it or not,

1962
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 2: this has got to be the most vacuous, superfluous statistic.

1963
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 2: This year he heard Rodgers ranked to the top ten

1964
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,679
Speaker 2: in the NFL and both passing yards and touchdown passes. Now,

1965
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,479
Speaker 2: some might consider that a good year, maybe even a

1966
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 2: banner year. It is not a typical season for Rogers

1967
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 2: because he suffered through the worst year of his career

1968
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:28,679
Speaker 2: from a win lost standpoint, The Jets five and twelve

1969
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 2: record last year basically said we're blowing this thing up

1970
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 2: and starting over. They brought in Aaron Glenn and that's

1971
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 2: gone from there. Okay, the new brass sit, We're not

1972
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 2: bringing back Rogers. He officially became a free agent shortly

1973
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 2: after the free agency officially started on March twelfth. Meanwhile,

1974
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 2: again back to Pittsburgh, Field's departure led the Steelers interest

1975
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 2: in Rogers. By the way, you know that Rogers and

1976
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin have been a winkning each other across the

1977
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 2: sideline for a decade. But if for whatever reason, Aaron

1978
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 2: Rodgers doesn't sign, they have a contingency plan because they

1979
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 2: do have Mason Rudolph. I don't dislike Mason Rudolph. He

1980
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,599
Speaker 2: was eight and four to one as a starter during

1981
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 2: his first pro goal round. But can you really say

1982
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 2: with Mason Rudolph under center, can you really say, with

1983
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolf under center, you can feel good about going

1984
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 2: to the playoffs? If you can, I can't. Now try

1985
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 2: to figure out why the Giants are hitching their quarterback

1986
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 2: wagon to something called Jameis Winston. I don't know. Maybe

1987
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 2: there is some common sense the Giants are still set

1988
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 2: in their sights, maybe on their upcoming draft to secure

1989
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 2: the most important position on the field or else. How

1990
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 2: about this the Giants, even after adding Winston, maybe they're

1991
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 2: not completing on on Aaron Rodgers. I think they are

1992
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 2: to the extent they were ever in on Aaron Rodgers.

1993
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:57,960
Speaker 2: So for now. Last Friday, it was reported Jameis Winston

1994
01:49:58,000 --> 01:49:59,639
Speaker 2: is coming to the Giants on a two year deal

1995
01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 2: worth eight million, as The New York Post reported, I

1996
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,920
Speaker 2: guess it'll be a wild and wacky fun time in

1997
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,360
Speaker 2: New York, maybe within the occasional highlights. What you don't

1998
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,760
Speaker 2: know is they haven't said that Winston is QB one.

1999
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 2: What if they do draft Shodor Sanders they might. There

2000
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that certainly have him plugged

2001
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,799
Speaker 2: in there. I don't do mock drafts. I don't predict

2002
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 2: the future. It's difficult. Well, I do predict the future

2003
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 2: on some things, but not not mock drafts. And sorry,

2004
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 2: I hate to break up the party, but if you're

2005
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 2: asking me, with all due respect, with all due respect,

2006
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 2: would I draft Schadorf Sanders three overall? No? Not no,

2007
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 2: hell no, I don't dislike Schador Sanders. He's gonna have

2008
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 2: a role in the National Football League. He does not

2009
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 2: have that one lead superpower a top five pick has.

2010
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 2: He has good arm strength, good accuracy, good athleticism. Put

2011
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 2: him on the field with NFL players. He's not going

2012
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 2: to be nearly as dynamic as you think he is.

2013
01:50:58,640 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't think he is. But Winston is certainly

2014
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 2: not the giants franchise quarterback because he's simply not that.

2015
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 2: He's not even Aaron Rodgers. He's certainly not Aaron Rodgers,

2016
01:51:08,479 --> 01:51:11,560
Speaker 2: who's the crazy forty one year old with Iowatskin on

2017
01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 2: Dark Retreats and Pat McAfee. But he wants his twenty

2018
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 2: first season. The Giants apparently still want him. They haven't

2019
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 2: closed the door on him even after the Winston signing.

2020
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 2: They just didn't feel comfortable waiting and waiting for Rogers

2021
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,200
Speaker 2: to make up his mind without at least getting an

2022
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 2: experienced quarterback. Before that, Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback

2023
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:33,080
Speaker 2: on the roster. I like Tommy DeVito, then again, they'd

2024
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 2: be better off of Danny DeVito. Rogers is still a

2025
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,879
Speaker 2: long shot. It does come to the Giants if Rogers

2026
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 2: does come to the Giants, Winston Wisby is backup, his

2027
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 2: contract is in line with backup money, and in that scenario,

2028
01:51:46,439 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 2: the Giants could still be interested in selecting a quarterback

2029
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,720
Speaker 2: with a number three overall pick on the draft. And

2030
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,560
Speaker 2: that's a lot of stuff on the New York Giants.

2031
01:51:55,760 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 2: Now coming up, JJ McCarthy, Aaron and the Vikings quarterback situation.

2032
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 2: There are four key questions. Why were the Vikings ever

2033
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 2: considering Aaron Rodgers? Where no one's talking about this, Where

2034
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:15,040
Speaker 2: does JJ McCarthy's development stand right now, What does the

2035
01:52:15,120 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 2: decision not to sign Rogers say about JJ McCarthy, And finally,

2036
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:23,720
Speaker 2: what does this mean for the Vikings going forward? As

2037
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 2: it stands today? I'm Bernie Friddle. Were coming to your

Speaker 2: dollars gift card to Tractor Supply. All right, JJ McCarthy

2057
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:34,599
Speaker 2: Number one, Why were the Vikings considering Aaron Rodgers well

2058
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 2: after winning fourteen games? And it came to check that

2059
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 2: after winning fourteen games last year and the season coming

2060
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 2: to a very unceremonious then with the first round playoff

2061
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 2: route and by the way, Rogers viewed the Vikings as

2062
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:54,520
Speaker 2: a premier destination. And the quarterback group is very incomplete

2063
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:56,720
Speaker 2: this year because you have twenty two year old first

2064
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 2: round pick JJ McCarthy. He missed the entire rookie season

2065
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 2: with torn MI In this Minnesota Pitts Jones on an

2066
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 2: open competition for a starting job. Sam Darnell bolted and

2067
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:15,440
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones bolted, So that leaves you know, JJ McCarthy

2068
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:19,439
Speaker 2: and assuming he's healthy, he's still untested, and I think

2069
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 2: he's got a chance to be good in this league,

2070
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 2: but you really don't know. It's still theoretical at this point.

2071
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:29,880
Speaker 2: And Kevin o'connin Aaron Rodgers have known each other for

2072
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 2: ten years. They both played quarterback in the early two thousands.

2073
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 2: They're about the same age on the West Coast. Apparently

2074
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:38,400
Speaker 2: they've stayed connected over the years. And once I've kind

2075
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 2: of learned of Rogers interest, he said, let's let's give it.

2076
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 2: Let's give it a thought. But then McCarthy had to

2077
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:47,720
Speaker 2: look at how Rogers would fit into the Vikings culture,

2078
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:50,400
Speaker 2: what the optics would look like, how he would blend

2079
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 2: his schematic philosophies, et cetera. Would it mesh with what

2080
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers wants. And a lot of people supported the idea.

2081
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 2: I think he can still operate at a high level.

2082
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 2: But mccar O'Connell wasn't quite convinced yet, at least yet

2083
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 2: that's the way I see it. So where does JJ

2084
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,720
Speaker 2: McCarthy's development stand right now? When the last time Kevin

2085
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 2: O'Connell publicly talked about McCarthy's status was two months ago,

2086
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 2: when he was asked as McCarthy would be the starter

2087
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, he said, I'm excited about where

2088
01:55:19,480 --> 01:55:22,440
Speaker 2: JJ is him being able to absorb a lot of

2089
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 2: the offenses past year and have a positive off season,

2090
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 2: YadA YadA. Yeah, but he wouldn't go as far as

2091
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:34,880
Speaker 2: explicitly naming JJ McCarthy as a starter, which is not

2092
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:38,160
Speaker 2: unexpected if it's only a January news conference. But this

2093
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 2: is the first round draft choice, and you've already lost

2094
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 2: one year. If he's not gonna start year two and

2095
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 2: you don't have it's not like he's sitting behind in

2096
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers like Jordan Love did in Green Bay, or

2097
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 2: Rogers did behind Brett Favre. You get the point. So apparently, Look,

2098
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy has spent these early months of twenty twenty five

2099
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 2: in Minnesota and they're monitoring his progress and we'll see

2100
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:02,880
Speaker 2: what happens. But I think the Vikings have to find

2101
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 2: a veteran It just looked doesn't look like it's gonna

2102
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:08,760
Speaker 2: be Rodgers right now. So what is the decision not

2103
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 2: to sign Rogers at least so far. Specifically say about

2104
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:17,880
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, It means that the Vikings are tipping their

2105
01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 2: hand that they are comfortable enough with McCarthy to risk

2106
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:25,840
Speaker 2: Rogers signing with another team or simply retiring now. Back

2107
01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, all the Vikings brass got together

2108
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,240
Speaker 2: and they felt their best path to a Super Bowl

2109
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:33,919
Speaker 2: was selecting a quarterback at the top of the draft

2110
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 2: and then pairing that quarterback's rookie contract with additions because

2111
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 2: they always have extra salary cast space everywhere else. Now.

2112
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 2: O'Connell personally structured the team's plan to evaluate quarterbacks in

2113
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four class. Last spring, he interviewed them,

2114
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 2: the Vikings flew him in, worked him out privately, and

2115
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:56,200
Speaker 2: right before the twenty twenty four draft, O'Connell admitted he

2116
01:56:56,320 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 2: was look knowing that he's kind of been the guy

2117
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 2: who kaibosches quarterbacks because he fights off decisions from the

2118
01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 2: inside because of certain evaluation processes that he does. But

2119
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 2: I really respect. Kevin O'Connell Okay. Once Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels,

2120
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 2: Drake May Michael Pennis were drafted, the Vikings moved up

2121
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 2: a spot and said, let's take McCarthy. McConnell said he

2122
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 2: was very happy with the way it all came together

2123
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 2: on draft night because McCarthy had been checking box as

2124
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 2: the prior fall before he took his meniscus. His mechanics

2125
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 2: looked very smooth. He executed consistently in a preseason game

2126
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 2: against the Raiders, and the Viking staff was ready to

2127
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:38,800
Speaker 2: give you more first team reps when they started to

2128
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 2: have joint practices in Cleveland. But then he had the

2129
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,600
Speaker 2: injury and that threw the whole thing into a wrench. Now,

2130
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:47,919
Speaker 2: committing Nick McCarthy right now comes with risk, but the Vikings'

2131
01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 2: actions cement their belief that I don't think this risk

2132
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 2: has risen to the level and needed to make a move.

2133
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 2: They could have been more aggressive and trying to keep Darnold.

2134
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 2: They could have offered Daniel Jones of Moore lucrative deal,

2135
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 2: but they didn't. They could have signed Rogers but they didn't.

2136
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 2: So what does this mean going forward? Looks to me

2137
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,320
Speaker 2: like the Vikings are looking for a big you know,

2138
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 2: a big training camp from J J McCarthy. Offseason workouts.

2139
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 2: They're almost upon us today, is what March twenty second,

2140
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 2: twenty third workouts begin in fifteen days offseason workouts in

2141
01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 2: the National Football League, and JJ McCarthy's going to have

2142
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 2: the opportunity to show the Vikings what they are hoping

2143
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:33,960
Speaker 2: they got. His physical condition matters. His command of the

2144
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 2: offense is extremely important. So in the meantime, do the

2145
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 2: Vikings pursue another backup? They have options to play. They

2146
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 2: could still go out and sign a veteran like a

2147
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco or Brian Tannehill. Or they could trade for

2148
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 2: a younger player like a Sam Howell or Aidan O'Connell,

2149
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 2: just someone to put in the roster. Right well, I

2150
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 2: don't know what they're going to do. So until Aaron

2151
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 2: Rodgers retires, signs with the team, or whatever the hell

2152
01:58:57,400 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 2: he does, goes at another retreat. The prospect of him,

2153
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota can't rule it out. And what if God forbid,

2154
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,480
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy suffers a setback with his knee or the

2155
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 2: Vikings come to the realization he needs more development time.

2156
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 2: That's why the Vikings are taking their time, and maybe

2157
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 2: that's where Rogers is taking his time. Coming up the

2158

2172
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 2: Because here on the Bernie Frattle Show, as Yogi Abara

2173
02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 2: would say, you can observe a lot by watching, and

2174
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 2: that's what we do. We and our staff we observe

2175
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 2: and watch events around this great country of ours, from

2176
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 2: sea to oily Sea, and perhaps even around the globe

2177
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 2: and the planet, because people engage in behaviors. People like

2178
02:00:21,200 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 2: to engage in behaviors sometimes odd ball, stupid, silly, innocuous,

2179
02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:30,680
Speaker 2: and some you know, sometimes they don't mean any harm,

2180
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:33,120
Speaker 2: but other times they do and other times for it,

2181
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 2: perhaps they can lead to criminal charges and things like that,

2182
02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:40,960
Speaker 2: and you end up in jail and your life is ruined.

2183
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:45,000
Speaker 2: But any way you slice it, any way you describe it,

2184
02:00:45,040 --> 02:00:47,840
Speaker 2: any way you characterize it, these behaviors that we observe

2185
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 2: that people engage in, well, they always leave us scratching

2186
02:00:52,360 --> 02:00:55,440
Speaker 2: our heads and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new

2187
02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:57,400
Speaker 2: fool are you?

2188
02:01:02,080 --> 02:01:02,160
Speaker 9: So?

2189
02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:04,640
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2190
02:01:05,480 --> 02:01:08,520
Speaker 2: So I've got one tonight that actually I would very

2191
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 2: much put in the innocuous category, kind of weird, And

2192
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 2: for the first time I can remember in the history

2193
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:19,840
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool are you? We

2194
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 2: take you to Sheldon, Iowa. I've been to Iowa. I've

2195
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 2: been to Des Moines. My wife and I were moving

2196
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 2: across the country. We've passed through des Moines, Iowa, a

2197
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:33,280
Speaker 2: very nice city, but I've never been to Sheldon, Iowa.

2198
02:01:33,320 --> 02:01:38,040
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if anybody knows mister Doug Paul quistra

2199
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 2: just throwing it out there. Nicely done, Mark, all right,

2200
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:48,680
Speaker 2: So we have heard if you watch the news or

2201
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:52,800
Speaker 2: maybe even study the hatfields of McCoy's, there can, in

2202
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 2: fact be neighbor feuds. In fact, they may or may

2203
02:01:57,680 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 2: not happen more often than we realize. And we've seen

2204
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:05,240
Speaker 2: him on the news. We've seen them turn violent, we've

2205
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:09,960
Speaker 2: seen them involve crimes. Sometimes they are crimes that hurt people,

2206
02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 2: sometimes they are crimes that hurt property, and sometimes they

2207
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:18,000
Speaker 2: are more a crime of nuisance. Now, I don't know

2208
02:02:18,240 --> 02:02:24,879
Speaker 2: what in the hell happened to mister Doug Paul in Sheldon, Iowa,

2209
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,040
Speaker 2: sixty four years old. And if you see a picture

2210
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 2: of this guy, his beard would make Rip van Winkle blush.

2211
02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 2: But I don't know who pissed in his corn flakes

2212
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 2: or licked the red off his lollipop. But something got

2213
02:02:36,520 --> 02:02:42,480
Speaker 2: his tractor cranked because he decided he would get revenge

2214
02:02:42,760 --> 02:02:47,360
Speaker 2: on one of his neighbors. And man, you are not

2215
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 2: gonna believe what he did. Then, that's why we call

2216
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 2: this what kind of brand new fool you? So what

2217
02:02:55,200 --> 02:03:00,360
Speaker 2: mister Paul did was caught on video, and he ended

2218
02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:05,280
Speaker 2: up being arrested for criminal mischief, part of it was

2219
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 2: trespassing and vandalizing. So what exactly did mister Paul of Sheldon,

2220
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 2: i Would do? He painted his neighbor's plants. What he

2221
02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 2: can be seen on video going onto the property, painting

2222
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 2: plants and going about his business. It turns out the

2223
02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:31,440
Speaker 2: plants are worth a whopping forty dollars. But that's somebody's property,

2224
02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 2: somebody's stuff. And there was a complete police report in

2225
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 2: this city report, and mister Paul admitted going on to

2226
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 2: the property and admitted to the crime, which again resulted

2227
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:47,560
Speaker 2: in criminal mischief and trespassing forty dollars in plants. But

2228
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:50,800
Speaker 2: it's still considered vandalizing. Boy, he knows how to get even,

2229
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 2: doesn't he. I But listen, not that I advocate any

2230
02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 2: of this stuff, but when I saw this story again,

2231
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:02,320
Speaker 2: all I could do is ask myself, mister, mister Doug Paul,

2232
02:04:02,440 --> 02:04:06,080
Speaker 2: sixty four years old, of Sheldon, Iowa, what kind of

2233
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 2: brand new fool you? All right, mister ian, what have

2234
02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:11,720
Speaker 2: you got for us tonight?

2235
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 20: All right?

2236
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 21: So I'm actually I'm pretty excited about this one and

2237
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 21: happy to be back on the Bernie Frattle show because

2238
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 21: it's been a while since I've been able to share

2239
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 21: one of these fools, which always keep them in the

2240
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:24,360
Speaker 21: back of my head, you know, save them for later.

2241
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:27,040
Speaker 21: But this one was actually recent, so that's makes it

2242
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 21: a little more timely. So our story begins in clear Water, Florida, Florida, Florida.

2243
02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:33,920
Speaker 20: You know that was follow one.

2244
02:04:33,960 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 21: Yeah, plenty of fools in Florida, but tonight's fool. We're

2245
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 21: following a man named Aaron Jablonsky. Yeah, his name's funny already.

2246
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 21: But Jablonsky decided he wanted to go out for a

2247
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,840
Speaker 21: few drinks at the nearby Overtime Sports Bar. So this

2248
02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:53,240
Speaker 21: is in Clearwater, Florida, near his house. So Overtime it's

2249
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 21: good bar, has food, drinks, sports, all that. But the

2250
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,839
Speaker 21: real reason Jablonsky wanted to go that night was for karaoke.

2251
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:02,920
Speaker 21: They also offer karaoke, so that's a little caveat there.

2252
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:07,600
Speaker 21: So he gets there, presumably ready to sing his heart out,

2253
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:10,400
Speaker 21: but unfortunately for him, on that particular night, the karaoke

2254
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 21: machine was actually broken, so no karaoke that night was available.

2255
02:05:15,160 --> 02:05:17,280
Speaker 20: So so now.

2256
02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 21: The average non fool would have just accepted that, maybe

2257
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 21: got an extra drink to help cope with the fat

2258
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 21: that they couldn't perform karaoke that night. Worst case, maybe

2259
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:26,800
Speaker 21: they'd go to another bar looking for a working machine.

2260
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:30,800
Speaker 21: But that was not Aaron Jablonski, so he started yelling,

2261
02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:33,240
Speaker 21: making a scene. He ended up storming out of the

2262
02:05:33,280 --> 02:05:36,080
Speaker 21: bar in a fit of rage, but that wasn't the end.

2263
02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 21: So apparently outside the bar, he was still so visibly

2264
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 21: angry that another man tried to calm him down, denied karaoke,

2265
02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 21: though Jablonsky was in no mood to be calm, so

2266
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:51,280
Speaker 21: he pulled out a gun, brandished it and fired off around,

2267
02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:53,839
Speaker 21: not at the person, just you know, off into the distance.

2268
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 20: And after that happened, he ended up sticking.

2269
02:05:57,640 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 21: Around at the bar for a little longer. Police showed up,

2270
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:03,640
Speaker 21: obviously as there had been gunfire. He still had the

2271
02:06:03,640 --> 02:06:05,280
Speaker 21: gun on him, not like he chose to ditch it

2272
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:08,000
Speaker 21: or anything, just kept it. It was a glock, and

2273
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 21: he was of course arrested. Turned out that Jablonski wasn't

2274
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 21: actually legally allowed to have that firearm in the first place,

2275
02:06:14,720 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 21: as he had previously been convicted of battery on a

2276
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 21: law enforcement officer. So again this was literally just earlier

2277
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 21: this week. So I believe he's still currently locked up

2278
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,120
Speaker 21: in the county jail as we speak, unless someone bailed.

2279
02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:31,240
Speaker 21: But Aaron Jablonski, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2280
02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:35,560
Speaker 2: So you bring your gun to karaoke? Did I understand that? Correct?

2281
02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:40,000
Speaker 21: Yes, he brought his block to karaoke, and yeah, it

2282
02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:43,040
Speaker 21: wasn't available, it was broken, and he was not happy

2283
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 21: about that. He ended up going outside firing a shot

2284
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 21: off because someone tried to calm him down. Yeah, not

2285
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:50,600
Speaker 21: a good night for Aaron Jablonskill.

2286
02:06:50,880 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 2: Any truth to the rumor he was set to do

2287
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:57,200
Speaker 2: a you know, a series of guns and roses.

2288
02:06:56,960 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 20: On I cannot confirm nor to I.

2289
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:04,600
Speaker 2: All right, another one from Florida and my wife and

2290
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:06,920
Speaker 2: I would be visiting Clearwater later this year. I hope

2291
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Jablonski's nowhere around. But all right, another outstanding addition.

2292
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 21: Well, actually, Bernie, I do have another little runner up

2293
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:16,560
Speaker 21: one since we have a little bit of time.

2294
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:17,880
Speaker 20: Is that okay?

2295
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:18,560
Speaker 2: Sure?

2296
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:20,760
Speaker 21: Just just bring another quick one here? There was a

2297
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:25,080
Speaker 21: guy whose brother in law pranked him by pouring super

2298
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 21: glue into his belly button. Now I couldn't get specific

2299
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:29,200
Speaker 21: names for this one. Which is why I didn't have

2300
02:07:29,240 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 21: it as my official fool here. But he ended up

2301
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,200
Speaker 21: suing his brother in law, taking him to small claims

2302
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:38,760
Speaker 21: court and fifty three dollars. He's suing him for super

2303
02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:40,000
Speaker 21: glue in his belly button.

2304
02:07:40,760 --> 02:07:41,880
Speaker 2: Was he asleep or something?

2305
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:45,400
Speaker 21: Yeah, he was asleep. Fell asleep apparently, was at a

2306
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:48,640
Speaker 21: family barbecue. He'd had a too few too many beers.

2307
02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:50,840
Speaker 21: Fell asleep in the hammock with his shirt off. His

2308
02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 21: brother in law, who was completely sober, thought it would

2309
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 21: be funny to fill his belly button with super glue.

2310
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:57,520
Speaker 21: He said, at some point I must have touched it,

2311
02:07:57,560 --> 02:07:59,760
Speaker 21: because when I woke up, I had glue partially dried

2312
02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:01,560
Speaker 21: in belly button and on my finger.

2313
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:03,440
Speaker 20: Tried to remove it, it was stuck.

2314
02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 21: The gluid adhered to my skin, and when we attempted

2315
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:08,320
Speaker 21: to peel it off, it caused him tearing around the edges.

2316
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:09,760
Speaker 20: Not fun, not fun.

2317
02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:16,000
Speaker 2: So nice brother, like cannon Abel. I mean, wow, all

2318
02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 2: this guy intended to do with I was like a prank.

2319
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't pisso he like revenge like mister Paul and

2320
02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 2: iowall who's painting plants? He just thought he'd have a

2321
02:08:23,760 --> 02:08:25,240
Speaker 2: little fun with some super glue hunk.

2322
02:08:25,320 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 20: Guess so, guess.

2323
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:29,120
Speaker 2: So that's why we call this segment, what kind of

2324
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:30,280
Speaker 2: brand new fool?

2325
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:31,280
Speaker 5: Are you?

2326
02:08:31,800 --> 02:08:36,560
Speaker 2: All right? Well? That enables us now to segue into

2327
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 2: our second favorite bit that we lovingly refer to as

2328
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:49,480
Speaker 2: what my name? And here we go? All right, this

2329
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:53,720
Speaker 2: past NFL season, I became the only running back to

2330
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:59,680
Speaker 2: rush for one thousand yards in the last four seasons.

2331
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, What my name? And here's a clue. He

2332
02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:07,560
Speaker 2: plays for one of the franchises that Aaron Rodgers is

2333
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:08,520
Speaker 2: considering going to.

2334
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 20: Would it be the Vikings?

2335
02:09:17,560 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 2: It's not the Vikings, but I'm looking for the name.

2336
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 2: Is it? I'll give you a clue. Is it? Is

2337
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:31,440
Speaker 2: it Joe Mixon, Josh Woods or Naji Harris?

2338
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:34,760
Speaker 20: Naji Harris?

2339
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:38,440
Speaker 2: It is, in fact, Najie Harris. We begin with a winner,

2340
02:09:43,320 --> 02:09:49,520
Speaker 2: all right. I am the most sacked quarterback in NFL history.

2341
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, What my name?

2342
02:09:52,680 --> 02:09:53,760
Speaker 20: The most sat up?

2343
02:09:54,040 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 2: And I'll give you a clue. Yeah, he did win

2344
02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:59,480
Speaker 2: one Super Bowl, but he's no longer with the team.

2345
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 2: What he wont the Super Bowl?

2346
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:07,200
Speaker 20: That makes it sound like he's still playing, so he.

2347
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 2: Wants to be still playing. He's kind of a man

2348
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:11,560
Speaker 2: without a country.

2349
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:13,720
Speaker 20: Right now, I'm gonna say Aaron Rodgers.

2350
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:19,320
Speaker 2: It is, in fact Aaron Rodgers excellent, most history, Yeah,

2351
02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 2: most sacked in NFL history. But you know he's been

2352
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:26,240
Speaker 2: around twenty one years, so why not? All right, let's

2353
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 2: let's that's a little basketball. Saturday, I became only the

2354
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:36,240
Speaker 2: second coach in NCAA March Madness history to lead his team.

2355
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 2: Check that, to lead four teams to the sweet sixteen.

2356
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:45,080
Speaker 2: So Saturday, I became only the second coach in NCAA

2357
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 2: March Madness history to lead four teams to the Suite sixteen.

2358
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:54,960
Speaker 2: They had a big win on Saturday. That's I think

2359
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 2: a pretty big clue. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2360
02:11:00,680 --> 02:11:02,760
Speaker 20: Mister Calipari?

2361
02:11:03,040 --> 02:11:14,000
Speaker 2: It is, in fact John Calipari. Now I said that

02:11:14,160 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 2: mister Calipari was the second coach in history. I'm the

2363
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 2: only other coach in history March man Is history to

2364

02:11:38,120 --> 02:11:39,080
Speaker 2: Was recently fired?

2368
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:42,000
Speaker 20: Who would that be? Rick Patino not.

2369
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:48,000
Speaker 2: His son was recently fired from a Mountain wet school

2370
02:11:48,520 --> 02:11:55,400
Speaker 2: who didn't make the tournament. Their nickname is the Running Rebels.

2371
02:11:56,760 --> 02:12:01,080

Speaker 2: very outspoken about Caitlyn Clark last year and he couldn't

2423
02:15:19,680 --> 02:15:20,520
Speaker 2: have been more wrong.

2424
02:15:21,840 --> 02:15:23,880
Speaker 20: This has to be Geno Rima, right, You got it?

2425
02:15:23,960 --> 02:15:30,240
Speaker 2: Geno Arima. Yeah. Notwithstanding his great accomplishments our last one,

2426
02:15:30,920 --> 02:15:37,320
Speaker 2: I am currently the NCAA college basketball coach with the

2427
02:15:37,400 --> 02:15:41,120
Speaker 2: longest streak of advancing my team into sweet sixteens with

2428
02:15:42,080 --> 02:15:47,280
Speaker 2: six Mark Ramsey, what my name? He's still coaching right now,

2429
02:15:47,440 --> 02:15:49,640
Speaker 2: and his team is one of the hot favorites to

2430
02:15:49,720 --> 02:15:58,680
Speaker 2: maybe win it all, to win it all five tremendous defense.

2431
02:16:00,040 --> 02:16:02,240
Speaker 20: There any clues because I'm only thinking of everybody.

2432
02:16:02,280 --> 02:16:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they beat they beat b YU today. No, no,

2433
02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:08,480
Speaker 2: they did not, by you excuse me, they didn't. Forgive me.

2434
02:16:08,840 --> 02:16:09,720
Speaker 2: It's a brain fart.

2435
02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:10,360
Speaker 20: I'm not going to know.

2436
02:16:10,720 --> 02:16:13,320
Speaker 21: I'm only thinking about Florida because everybody loves Florida.

2437
02:16:13,360 --> 02:16:19,240
Speaker 2: Now, all right, let's just get let's so, my clues

2438
02:16:19,240 --> 02:16:23,160
Speaker 2: weren't very good, but I'm currently the head coach with

2439
02:16:23,240 --> 02:16:26,960
Speaker 2: the longest streak advancing to the Sweet sixteen with six

2440
02:16:27,600 --> 02:16:28,760
Speaker 2: or ian What my name is this?

2441
02:16:28,840 --> 02:16:29,400
Speaker 20: Tom Izzo?

2442
02:16:30,680 --> 02:16:33,080
Speaker 2: I believe it or not, I'll give you, guys so

2443
02:16:33,160 --> 02:16:36,400
Speaker 2: you can blurt it out. Is he is? His team

2444
02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:37,440
Speaker 2: is based in Texas.

2445
02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:42,480
Speaker 20: Oh, Kelvin Houston coach, Right, you.

2446
02:16:42,520 --> 02:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Got it, Kelvin Samsons. And what's interesting, uh, Mark Fugh.

2447
02:16:48,360 --> 02:16:53,480
Speaker 2: Had Gonzaga somehow beaten Houston Saturday night, that would have

2448
02:16:53,520 --> 02:16:57,920
Speaker 2: been Gonzaga's tenth straight Sweet sixteen under under Mark fu

2449
02:16:58,040 --> 02:17:00,720
Speaker 2: So that would have been I think quite an accomplishment.

2450
02:17:01,120 --> 02:17:03,800
Speaker 20: All right, learn a lot about college basketball tonight.

2451
02:17:05,640 --> 02:17:08,400
Speaker 2: All right, good job guys, what brand new fool? What

2452
02:17:08,640 --> 02:17:13,840

2463
02:17:42,680 --> 02:17:46,440
Speaker 2: to zero? Major League Baseball has started well thanks to

2464
02:17:46,520 --> 02:17:50,800
Speaker 2: a record setting Tokyo Series. Major League Baseball is started

2465
02:17:50,879 --> 02:17:54,480
Speaker 2: the season with some serious momentum. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're

02:17:54,480 --> 02:17:57,080
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio Tireck

Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Keep it locked, we'll talk about all

2468
02:17:59,080 --> 02:18:02,280
Speaker 2: that coming up, so Bernie Friddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2469
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:06,800
Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Friddle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

2470
02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:09,039
Speaker 2: coming to live from the Tarak dot Com studios here

2471
02:18:09,640 --> 02:18:14,199
Speaker 2: in a La Vegas. Don't look now. The Dodgers are undefeated.

2472
02:18:14,200 --> 02:18:16,920
Speaker 2: They're two to zero, and I say his tongue in

2473
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:19,920
Speaker 2: cheek that the Cubs were already in last place in

2474
02:18:19,959 --> 02:18:23,800
Speaker 2: the NL Central, but as expected, Major League Baseball, in

2475
02:18:23,879 --> 02:18:27,800
Speaker 2: their season opening trip to Japan this past week is

2476
02:18:27,840 --> 02:18:32,840
Speaker 2: the league's largest standalone international event in league history. Now,

2477
02:18:32,920 --> 02:18:34,760
Speaker 2: I didn't stay up to three am either day, but

2478
02:18:34,840 --> 02:18:38,160
Speaker 2: I did DVR the shows, and we had a caller

2479
02:18:38,200 --> 02:18:40,920
Speaker 2: from Tokyo earlier Paul and Tokyo hope he calls again.

2480
02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:44,560
Speaker 2: Is fantastic. And I turned out that Bernie Frattle Show

2481
02:18:44,640 --> 02:18:47,840
Speaker 2: is a drive time in Tokyo. I gotta love that.

2482
02:18:48,240 --> 02:18:51,440
Speaker 2: But the league said Friday. The two game series earlier

2483
02:18:51,440 --> 02:18:53,680
Speaker 2: this week at the Tokyo Dome, which my wife and

2484
02:18:53,720 --> 02:18:56,879
Speaker 2: I will visit next May between the Dodgers and Cubs

2485
02:18:57,360 --> 02:19:01,959
Speaker 2: set an array of records, not only viewership, but attendance,

2486
02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:07,119
Speaker 2: merchandise sales, everything. So the soaring popularity of Major League

2487
02:19:07,120 --> 02:19:10,480
Speaker 2: Baseball in Japan is alive and well, and the rabid

2488
02:19:10,520 --> 02:19:14,480
Speaker 2: fans and the reception for their homecoming native stars like

2489
02:19:14,680 --> 02:19:18,800
Speaker 2: not only Shoheo Tani, but Yoshinoba Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki

2490
02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:23,800
Speaker 2: part of the Dodger's rotation was off the hook. These

2491
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:28,720
Speaker 2: are historic totals. An average audience of twenty five million

2492
02:19:28,760 --> 02:19:32,439
Speaker 2: people in Japan alone for the first game. That completely

2493
02:19:32,440 --> 02:19:36,040
Speaker 2: smashes the previous record for Major League Baseball viewership in

2494
02:19:36,120 --> 02:19:40,959
Speaker 2: Japan that was set during the World Series last year. Now,

2495
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:44,360
Speaker 2: the second game almost matched it twenty three million, And

2496
02:19:44,400 --> 02:19:49,240
Speaker 2: if you adjust that for Japan's population, well, those figures

2497
02:19:49,240 --> 02:19:52,600
Speaker 2: are greater than what our Super Bowl draws in the US.

2498
02:19:53,280 --> 02:19:56,320
Speaker 2: And the games happened during prime time for Japanese viewers,

2499
02:19:56,959 --> 02:20:01,279
Speaker 2: which was not the situation with the early morning airing

2500
02:20:01,320 --> 02:20:04,520
Speaker 2: here of the World Series. So even by the way,

2501
02:20:04,560 --> 02:20:10,640
Speaker 2: there was a series four exhibition games that preceded the

2502
02:20:10,680 --> 02:20:15,160
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball openers, involving two nip On Professional Baseball

2503
02:20:15,240 --> 02:20:18,120
Speaker 2: League teams, and those drew huge numbers in Japan, almost

2504
02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:20,560
Speaker 2: twelve million across all platforms. Now back here in the

2505
02:20:20,640 --> 02:20:24,640
Speaker 2: United States, and remember the game. The games were on

2506
02:20:24,680 --> 02:20:27,959
Speaker 2: at three am in Los Angeles local time, in five

2507
02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:31,800
Speaker 2: am local time in loss in Chicago. But back here

2508
02:20:31,840 --> 02:20:35,800
Speaker 2: in the United States, the Dodgers Cubs game on Opening Day,

2509
02:20:36,200 --> 02:20:40,320
Speaker 2: I believe that was Tuesday or three in the morning

2510
02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:43,440
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, drew an average of almost nine hundred thousand

2511
02:20:43,520 --> 02:20:46,600
Speaker 2: viewers on Fox. In the second game on FS one

2512
02:20:47,080 --> 02:20:50,040
Speaker 2: averaged about four hundred thousand, despite the fact, like I said,

2513
02:20:50,040 --> 02:20:54,439
Speaker 2: three AM and five AM. But here's the key takeaway there. Collectively,

2514
02:20:54,920 --> 02:20:58,960
Speaker 2: the viewership here in the United States completely surpassed last

2515
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:02,120
Speaker 2: year's Sole Seat that was played in Soul, South Korea

2516
02:21:02,280 --> 02:21:06,199
Speaker 2: between the Dodgers and Padres. It was increased by wait

2517
02:21:06,280 --> 02:21:10,880
Speaker 2: for it, sixty percent. So when you add those two

2518
02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:14,440
Speaker 2: games along with the four prior exhibitions, those not only

2519
02:21:14,520 --> 02:21:18,200
Speaker 2: drew a combined attendants. Combined attendants of over two hundred

2520
02:21:18,200 --> 02:21:21,039
Speaker 2: and fifty three thousand of the Tokyo Dome. The Major

2521
02:21:21,120 --> 02:21:25,360
Speaker 2: League Baseball Tokyo Series FanFest I tracted almost half a

2522
02:21:25,400 --> 02:21:28,280
Speaker 2: million fans over a twelve day run. That's the most

2523
02:21:28,440 --> 02:21:31,480
Speaker 2: visited fan festival of any type in league history. Now,

2524
02:21:31,520 --> 02:21:35,320
Speaker 2: the fan fest started in Toronto back in nineteen ninety one.

2525
02:21:35,400 --> 02:21:37,920
Speaker 2: I got to do the one in nineteen ninety two

2526
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:41,080
Speaker 2: with Jim Lampley on Home Shopping Network Believe it or not,

2527
02:21:41,240 --> 02:21:45,160
Speaker 2: live from the old Jack Murphy Stadium. It was down

2528
02:21:45,200 --> 02:21:48,840
Speaker 2: in San Diego before Petco Park was built, and it

2529
02:21:48,879 --> 02:21:52,560
Speaker 2: was amazing. Major League Baseball FanFest is amazing, but they

2530
02:21:52,560 --> 02:21:54,880
Speaker 2: didn't draw a five hundred thousand fans. They drew a lot,

2531
02:21:54,920 --> 02:21:57,640
Speaker 2: but not that many. So give it up to the

2532
02:21:57,680 --> 02:22:01,000
Speaker 2: international impact that baseball is having, certainly in Japan. By

2533
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:04,600
Speaker 2: the way, not for nothing, Major League Baseball had the

2534
02:22:04,640 --> 02:22:08,280
Speaker 2: best merchandise sales of the in and Andy of any

2535
02:22:08,400 --> 02:22:12,520
Speaker 2: international event in their history. Last year. The London Series

2536
02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:17,480
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four set records. But what happened this

2537
02:22:17,520 --> 02:22:22,039
Speaker 2: past week broke the London Series merchandise record by three

2538
02:22:22,120 --> 02:22:27,600
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty percent. Just simply incredible. Baseball is upon us.

2539
02:22:27,640 --> 02:22:30,680
Speaker 2: It's already here, and yes, Dodgers fans here already two

2540
02:22:30,680 --> 02:22:34,040
Speaker 2: and zero. Well, we talked a lot about NFL football

2541
02:22:34,080 --> 02:22:37,400
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, with the NFL quarterback carousel and

2542
02:22:37,440 --> 02:22:39,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and the like. We covered all on the

2543
02:22:39,640 --> 02:22:45,320
Speaker 2: Bernie Frauder Show, including the sports spelled fut bl that's

2544
02:22:45,360 --> 02:22:49,400
Speaker 2: also played internationally. Gold Cup coming up this summer. At

2545
02:22:49,400 --> 02:22:51,800
Speaker 2: this time, we throw it to Chris Purffet and the

2546
02:22:51,800 --> 02:23:02,480
Speaker 2: world of soccer. The greatest goal, the thrilling, finishes.

2547
02:23:03,600 --> 02:23:12,480
Speaker 3: The international drama. It's all here in this report from

2548
02:23:12,520 --> 02:23:13,720
Speaker 3: the world of soccer.

2549
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:16,200
Speaker 15: Now, Bernie, I don't want to be alarmist, but I

2550
02:23:16,280 --> 02:23:19,959
Speaker 15: do believe it is now time to start worrying about

2551
02:23:20,080 --> 02:23:22,920
Speaker 15: the US men's soccer team when it comes to the

2552
02:23:22,959 --> 02:23:27,240
Speaker 15: World Cup, because the US team took probably its first

2553
02:23:27,480 --> 02:23:32,000
Speaker 15: big loss in the Pochettino era. Caulcacaffe Nations League is

2554
02:23:32,040 --> 02:23:35,040
Speaker 15: a tournament that the US has generally cleaned up at.

2555
02:23:35,360 --> 02:23:38,160
Speaker 15: It's not really seen as much of a stumbling block

2556
02:23:38,200 --> 02:23:41,320
Speaker 15: for them, and in spite of feisty conking Caff play

2557
02:23:41,360 --> 02:23:45,400
Speaker 15: at times from rivals across North America, they've usually been

2558
02:23:45,440 --> 02:23:48,120
Speaker 15: able to get into the final match fairly easily in

2559
02:23:48,200 --> 02:23:50,840
Speaker 15: dispatch Canada or Mexico or who have you.

2560
02:23:51,160 --> 02:23:52,560
Speaker 20: Well, the US will be.

2561
02:23:52,520 --> 02:23:55,000
Speaker 15: Playing Canada on Sunday, however, it will be for the

2562
02:23:55,040 --> 02:24:01,640
Speaker 15: third place match. And their loss came to Panama. Yes, Panama. Now,

2563
02:24:01,680 --> 02:24:04,240
Speaker 15: I can already hear US soccer fans saying, oh, Panama

2564
02:24:04,320 --> 02:24:08,240
Speaker 15: usually gives the US trouble. Sure, sure, understood, But you're

2565
02:24:08,280 --> 02:24:10,520
Speaker 15: supposed to be ready to play for a World Cup.

2566
02:24:10,959 --> 02:24:13,160
Speaker 15: And what happened at the end of the game was

2567
02:24:13,360 --> 02:24:17,039
Speaker 15: nothing short of a backbreaker. It was nil nil going

2568
02:24:17,080 --> 02:24:20,200
Speaker 15: into the final final bit of time. When all of

2569
02:24:20,240 --> 02:24:24,560
Speaker 15: this sudden, Panama's Cecilio Waterman suddenly gets loose in the

2570
02:24:24,680 --> 02:24:28,560
Speaker 15: ninety fourth minute, seconds before the end of the game,

2571
02:24:28,920 --> 02:24:32,240
Speaker 15: and runs loose. He gets the ball past Matt Turner

2572
02:24:32,480 --> 02:24:35,519
Speaker 15: Waterman and Panama goes to celebrate with Thierre Henri.

2573
02:24:35,640 --> 02:24:39,120
Speaker 20: Who is on the broadcast set there.

2574
02:24:39,280 --> 02:24:40,160
Speaker 3: And that's that.

2575
02:24:40,720 --> 02:24:44,520
Speaker 15: The US loses to Panama. It is a stunner of

2576
02:24:44,560 --> 02:24:47,240
Speaker 15: epic proportions that all we can talk about of a

2577
02:24:47,320 --> 02:24:51,560
Speaker 15: US team that had possessed the ball for two thirds

2578
02:24:51,600 --> 02:24:54,959
Speaker 15: of the game, for a US side that really should

2579
02:24:55,000 --> 02:24:58,199
Speaker 15: not be at this point screwing around with a team

2580
02:24:58,360 --> 02:25:02,400
Speaker 15: like Panama and got sound defeated in a stunner and

2581
02:25:02,480 --> 02:25:06,039
Speaker 15: a strike. And honestly, I'm not sure what's gonna happen

2582
02:25:06,080 --> 02:25:09,400
Speaker 15: with Canada, but it's just genuinely not good enough. And

2583
02:25:09,800 --> 02:25:12,320
Speaker 15: so says Pochettino as well, that wearing the US shirt

2584
02:25:12,480 --> 02:25:15,840
Speaker 15: simply isn't good enough. It is a test, it is

2585
02:25:15,879 --> 02:25:20,360
Speaker 15: a massive test for the US Budgetino is already looking

2586
02:25:20,400 --> 02:25:23,680
Speaker 15: forward to Canada, saying quote that the US team needs

2587
02:25:23,720 --> 02:25:28,480
Speaker 15: to show character. But already we're starting to really start

2588
02:25:28,480 --> 02:25:31,119
Speaker 15: to dissect this team, and wonder, hey, are you guys

2589
02:25:31,160 --> 02:25:34,240
Speaker 15: ready for you know the World Cup, you know that

2590
02:25:34,320 --> 02:25:39,320
Speaker 15: thing that's next year that you host here in North America. Assumingly,

2591
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:41,840
Speaker 15: this isn't the sort of loss the team like the

2592
02:25:41,920 --> 02:25:44,960
Speaker 15: United States is supposed to take. And yes, loss has

2593
02:25:45,040 --> 02:25:48,320
Speaker 15: happened across the soccer but we always have to repeat this.

2594
02:25:48,400 --> 02:25:50,600
Speaker 15: Conka CAF is a very shallow pool.

2595
02:25:50,840 --> 02:25:51,400
Speaker 2: The US.

2596
02:25:51,560 --> 02:25:55,080
Speaker 15: It would always move them to play commable or UEFA teams.

2597
02:25:55,320 --> 02:25:57,880
Speaker 15: But if you're losing to a team like Panama, it

2598
02:25:58,080 --> 02:26:03,240
Speaker 15: is a It is a a a indictment upon who

2599
02:26:03,280 --> 02:26:05,280
Speaker 15: you are as a team. This is a team whose

2600
02:26:05,400 --> 02:26:09,440
Speaker 15: roster really has not changed. It hasn't brought in new

2601
02:26:09,520 --> 02:26:14,800
Speaker 15: big top scores. Pulisic had very little impact in the game.

2602
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:18,400
Speaker 15: Pulsich himself, who is kind of getting to the to

2603
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:21,280
Speaker 15: the point where I'm starting to wonder if this guy

2604
02:26:21,480 --> 02:26:24,959
Speaker 15: is going to be something of a leader. And there

2605
02:26:25,120 --> 02:26:27,960
Speaker 15: is lots of contemplation within the squad as to who

2606
02:26:28,040 --> 02:26:30,760
Speaker 15: is going to step up, But the question is who

2607
02:26:30,879 --> 02:26:33,680
Speaker 15: even will be that person be? Because I look across

2608
02:26:33,720 --> 02:26:35,960
Speaker 15: this roster and I don't really see a lot of

2609
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:39,480
Speaker 15: pieces still remaining after how the last era blew up.

2610
02:26:39,879 --> 02:26:43,280
Speaker 15: Outside of Pulsich to say, Hey, this is a team

2611
02:26:43,320 --> 02:26:46,000
Speaker 15: that's going to be exciting. This is a team that's

2612
02:26:46,040 --> 02:26:49,680
Speaker 15: going to be dynamic and attack and really have an identity.

2613
02:26:49,760 --> 02:26:52,680
Speaker 15: It really does not have that right now. That was

2614
02:26:52,879 --> 02:26:57,400
Speaker 15: ninety minutes of frustration capped off with a big, giant

2615
02:26:57,440 --> 02:27:01,200
Speaker 15: mistake that ended everything. And then there's the case of

2616
02:27:01,240 --> 02:27:05,760
Speaker 15: the turnout at Los Angeles in Sofi Stadium for this game.

2617
02:27:05,920 --> 02:27:08,480
Speaker 15: I know Clint Dempsey spoke on CBS and said that

2618
02:27:09,520 --> 02:27:12,120
Speaker 15: the game's timing probably you know, threw off a lot

2619
02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:15,760
Speaker 15: of the crowd. It's competing against March madness. But this

2620
02:27:15,920 --> 02:27:19,320
Speaker 15: is a team that once upon a time, ten years ago,

2621
02:27:19,600 --> 02:27:23,840
Speaker 15: would draw tremendous crowds when it was Clinton Dempsey playing,

2622
02:27:24,120 --> 02:27:27,720
Speaker 15: when it was Josie Altador, when it was those guys

2623
02:27:27,840 --> 02:27:30,879
Speaker 15: who went to Brazil. Like, this is a far cry,

2624
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:34,200
Speaker 15: not just for the team before the entire American fan base.

2625
02:27:34,440 --> 02:27:37,080
Speaker 15: I kind of get it too, though, but considering how

2626
02:27:37,320 --> 02:27:39,800
Speaker 15: little they are showing you. But at the same time,

2627
02:27:39,879 --> 02:27:42,320
Speaker 15: this spark has to come from somewhere, and you're supposed

2628
02:27:42,320 --> 02:27:44,480
Speaker 15: to being ready for a World Cup too. I don't

2629
02:27:44,520 --> 02:27:46,959
Speaker 15: I'm throwing out my hands on this one. I have

2630
02:27:47,040 --> 02:27:49,959
Speaker 15: to stew on this for quite a while because quite honestly,

2631
02:27:50,320 --> 02:27:52,600
Speaker 15: it shouldn't really be a problem. This is supposed to

2632
02:27:52,640 --> 02:27:56,240
Speaker 15: be the new manager and this is a big, big

2633
02:27:56,280 --> 02:27:59,680
Speaker 15: stumbling block with a big milestone, with a World Cup

2634
02:28:00,080 --> 02:28:03,520
Speaker 15: coming up in your backyard. Within I would say a

2635
02:28:03,560 --> 02:28:08,920
Speaker 15: calendar and change. What's it gonna take to really get

2636
02:28:08,920 --> 02:28:12,760
Speaker 15: this team to take things? Seriously, what's it gonna take

2637
02:28:13,440 --> 02:28:15,920
Speaker 15: that'll do it for this sedition of the World of Soccer.

2638
02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:26,080
Speaker 2: Well, Mauricio Poltuccinos to come under great fire, and you

2639
02:28:26,120 --> 02:28:30,640
Speaker 2: shouldn't this This is like groundhog Day with Bill Murray.

2640
02:28:30,680 --> 02:28:33,760
Speaker 2: It just keeps happening over and over and over and over.

2641
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:40,080
Speaker 2: Against Panama, the US reverted to form no offense. You know,

2642
02:28:42,280 --> 02:28:45,520
Speaker 2: all right, there's no sense in belaboring the point. But

2643
02:28:45,520 --> 02:28:47,160
Speaker 2: there will be a World Cup coming up. There will

2644
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:49,400
Speaker 2: be a Gold Cup coming up. And I think Doug

2645
02:28:49,400 --> 02:28:52,199
Speaker 2: Gottlie said earlier in the week, we're promised every year

2646
02:28:52,240 --> 02:28:55,240
Speaker 2: every decade, this is finally going to be the iteration

2647
02:28:55,400 --> 02:28:57,119
Speaker 2: that puts us on the world stage. But I'll say

2648
02:28:57,160 --> 02:29:00,879
Speaker 2: what I was told back when World Cup. You know,

2649
02:29:01,400 --> 02:29:03,880
Speaker 2: I was told that until the Adrian Peterson's of the world.

2650
02:29:03,879 --> 02:29:06,680
Speaker 2: This is a quote from somebody start to decide they

2651
02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:10,039
Speaker 2: want to play soccer. Yeah, we ain't. Wen't going nowhere

2652
02:29:10,040 --> 02:29:13,560
Speaker 2: on the world stage. And I kind of believe that. Hey,

2653
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:17,359
Speaker 2: by the way, Tractor Supply knows, the winning season takes practice, teamwork,

2685
02:31:15,840 --> 02:31:19,680
Speaker 2: the final eight spots in the Sweet sixteen. As the

2686
02:31:19,720 --> 02:31:22,760
Speaker 2: first weekend of the twenty twenty five March Managed Tournament

2687
02:31:23,200 --> 02:31:27,039
Speaker 2: comes to a close, I want to pay homage to

2688
02:31:27,360 --> 02:31:30,280
Speaker 2: a gentleman I considered to be an American icon. And

2689
02:31:30,360 --> 02:31:32,600
Speaker 2: what's interesting I not adopt in my mind, there's a

2690
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:36,600
Speaker 2: whole generation of people. They know him from his George

2691
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:41,640
Speaker 2: Foreman grill, which he created in nineteen ninety four, sold

2692
02:31:41,640 --> 02:31:44,000
Speaker 2: one hundred million of them, sold a couple of them

2693
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:48,440
Speaker 2: to me, and became a funny, likable pitch man, among

2694
02:31:48,520 --> 02:31:51,840
Speaker 2: many other things he did as a legendary boxer as

2695
02:31:51,879 --> 02:31:58,160
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur. George Foreman is his story is an epic story.

2696
02:31:59,120 --> 02:32:00,959
Speaker 2: Passed at seventy six, six years old. We know it

2697
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:03,800
Speaker 2: was peacefully in the Houston Hospital. We don't know what

2698
02:32:03,879 --> 02:32:07,879
Speaker 2: the cause of death was. Just don't know. But here's

2699
02:32:07,920 --> 02:32:11,600
Speaker 2: a kid coming out of Texas who had some trouble

2700
02:32:11,600 --> 02:32:13,800
Speaker 2: in his youth, joined the job corpse he was sixteen

2701
02:32:13,840 --> 02:32:16,920
Speaker 2: years old, and someone introduced him to boxing in seventeen

2702
02:32:16,959 --> 02:32:19,520
Speaker 2: and it must have agreed with him, because he made

2703
02:32:19,560 --> 02:32:21,600
Speaker 2: his first stamp on the boxing world when he was

2704
02:32:21,640 --> 02:32:25,240
Speaker 2: only nineteen years old at the nineteen sixty eight Mexico

2705
02:32:25,280 --> 02:32:28,720
Speaker 2: City Olympics, and he won a medal. To the best

2706
02:32:28,720 --> 02:32:33,120
Speaker 2: of my knowledge, and I understand that before that fight,

2707
02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:35,959
Speaker 2: the thing everybody loved about George Foreman is he was

2708
02:32:36,080 --> 02:32:40,560
Speaker 2: honest and candid and sincere, and there was no trepidation

2709
02:32:40,640 --> 02:32:42,960
Speaker 2: about what was on his mind. And he was entertaining

2710
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:46,160
Speaker 2: and always packaged his message in a way that really

2711
02:32:46,200 --> 02:32:49,280
Speaker 2: resonated with people. And he admitted many many years later,

2712
02:32:50,520 --> 02:32:55,240
Speaker 2: he looked back at that fight at the Olympics. He'd

2713
02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:57,800
Speaker 2: only had a couple dozen amateur fights. It's incredible that

2714
02:32:57,800 --> 02:33:01,920
Speaker 2: they would rush him into that situation. He admitted just

2715
02:33:02,200 --> 02:33:06,360
Speaker 2: what fifteen years ago, that how afraid he was at

2716
02:33:06,360 --> 02:33:08,840
Speaker 2: the time of that fight getting into the ring. And

2717
02:33:08,879 --> 02:33:11,160
Speaker 2: he said, a lot of people thought I had confidence. Well,

2718
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:12,600
Speaker 2: I didn't have a lot of confidence that the people

2719
02:33:12,640 --> 02:33:15,320
Speaker 2: thought I had. He wanted to win the gold, but

2720
02:33:15,400 --> 02:33:17,720
Speaker 2: he didn't know that it would happen. But his coach said,

2721
02:33:18,040 --> 02:33:20,960
Speaker 2: jab jab jab, and with all his jabs and wild punches,

2722
02:33:21,560 --> 02:33:25,360
Speaker 2: when he got going, he was fairly well unstoppable. Then

2723
02:33:25,400 --> 02:33:29,520
Speaker 2: one year after George Foreman's gold medal win, Well he

2724
02:33:29,600 --> 02:33:33,320
Speaker 2: became a He took up professional boxing. He had a

2725
02:33:33,440 --> 02:33:37,439
Speaker 2: legendary career seventy six and five sixty eight wins by knockout,

2726
02:33:37,680 --> 02:33:39,800
Speaker 2: and in nineteen seventy three he won the first of

2727
02:33:39,840 --> 02:33:43,039
Speaker 2: his two heavyweight champions when he knocked out Joe Frazier,

2728
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:46,880
Speaker 2: who was also the gold medalist in sixty four and

2729
02:33:46,959 --> 02:33:50,840
Speaker 2: that famous fight in Jamaica. And then Foreman lost the

2730
02:33:50,879 --> 02:33:54,600
Speaker 2: title in nineteen seventy four, one year later against Muhammad

2731
02:33:54,600 --> 02:33:58,480
Speaker 2: Ali and the famous Rumble in the Jungle. But George

2732
02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:01,480
Speaker 2: Foreman's life changed him when he lost a fight and

2733
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:04,960
Speaker 2: at twenty eight years old in nineteen seventy seven at

2734
02:34:04,959 --> 02:34:08,360
Speaker 2: the hands of Jimmy Young and Puerto Rico. He was

2735
02:34:08,400 --> 02:34:12,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight years old and he believed he almost died

2736
02:34:12,959 --> 02:34:16,000
Speaker 2: that night. He almost suffered, well, he didn't almost suffer.

2737
02:34:16,320 --> 02:34:20,560
Speaker 2: He suffered from serious exhaustion and heat stroke. He absolutely

2738
02:34:20,560 --> 02:34:23,440
Speaker 2: said it was a near death experience. He stepped away

2739
02:34:23,440 --> 02:34:27,120
Speaker 2: from boxing. He took a full decade and stepped away

2740
02:34:27,160 --> 02:34:30,120
Speaker 2: from boxing. His life took one hundred and eighty return.

2741
02:34:30,200 --> 02:34:33,199
Speaker 2: He became an ordained minister and in nineteen eighty four

2742
02:34:34,040 --> 02:34:38,200
Speaker 2: he founded the George Human George Foreman Youth and Community Center.

2743
02:34:38,800 --> 02:34:40,760
Speaker 2: But something was eating at him. He would go door

2744
02:34:40,840 --> 02:34:43,560
Speaker 2: to door, door to door. Something was eating at him.

2745
02:34:43,720 --> 02:34:47,840
Speaker 2: After being a preacher for ten years, and he said,

2746
02:34:47,920 --> 02:34:50,240
Speaker 2: I got to get back in the game. I got

2747
02:34:50,240 --> 02:34:52,920
Speaker 2: to get back in the game, and in nineteen eighty seven,

2748
02:34:53,040 --> 02:34:56,000
Speaker 2: ten years later, at the age of thirty eight, George

2749
02:34:56,000 --> 02:35:00,120
Speaker 2: Foreman returned to boxing and it wasn't easy for him.

2750
02:35:00,320 --> 02:35:03,240
Speaker 2: He was beating the tomato cans, but he wasn't having

2751
02:35:03,400 --> 02:35:06,480
Speaker 2: the success he wanted. But he found himself seven years

2752
02:35:06,560 --> 02:35:09,800
Speaker 2: later with an opportunity to take on the heavyweight champion

2753
02:35:09,879 --> 02:35:15,359
Speaker 2: Michael Moore at forty five years old, but multiple states

2754
02:35:15,400 --> 02:35:19,320
Speaker 2: turned down his boxing license and so they couldn't sanction

2755
02:35:19,440 --> 02:35:22,640
Speaker 2: the fight in the various few states they tried. Finally

2756
02:35:22,680 --> 02:35:27,400
Speaker 2: Nevada accepted and the rest is history. Two decades after

2757
02:35:27,480 --> 02:35:34,040
Speaker 2: losing his first losing his first through Ali the heavyweight

2758
02:35:34,080 --> 02:35:37,320
Speaker 2: championship of the world. Believe it or not, I mean,

2759
02:35:37,400 --> 02:35:42,279
Speaker 2: twenty years later he comes back and beats the younger, stronger,

2760
02:35:42,360 --> 02:35:45,560
Speaker 2: faster Michael Moore from Detroit, even though more through four

2761
02:35:45,640 --> 02:35:48,800
Speaker 2: hundred and forty punches to Foreman's three hundred and thirty.

2762
02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:51,280
Speaker 2: Forman just admitted, sometimes you got to sit there and

2763
02:35:51,320 --> 02:35:54,320
Speaker 2: take it, and when they dust settled, George Foreman, at

2764
02:35:54,360 --> 02:35:58,320
Speaker 2: forty five was the heavyweight champion of the world again.

2765
02:35:58,360 --> 02:36:00,120
Speaker 2: He went out to say anything you can desire, you

2766
02:36:00,120 --> 02:36:02,320
Speaker 2: can make happen. Is like the song when you wish

2767
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:04,280
Speaker 2: upon a star your dreams come true. Will look at

2768
02:36:04,280 --> 02:36:07,960
Speaker 2: me tonight. In nineteen ninety seven, Foreman and forty eight

2769
02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:10,760
Speaker 2: retired from boxing for good, but by that time he'd

2770
02:36:10,800 --> 02:36:15,640
Speaker 2: already reinvented himself. He was that crazy, funny, gregarious pitch man,

2771
02:36:15,720 --> 02:36:20,600
Speaker 2: endorsing various products, most notably the George Foreman Grill. Foreman

2772
02:36:20,720 --> 02:36:24,520
Speaker 2: also made some the television appearances. He's on The six

2773
02:36:24,560 --> 02:36:27,240
Speaker 2: Million Dollar Man and even the Matt Singer in twenty

2774
02:36:27,280 --> 02:36:30,160
Speaker 2: twenty two. And by the way, you probably already know

2775
02:36:30,200 --> 02:36:34,680
Speaker 2: this story. George Foreman had twelve children, seven daughters and

2776
02:36:34,760 --> 02:36:38,200
Speaker 2: five sons. Named all of his sons George Edward Foreman,

2777
02:36:38,640 --> 02:36:40,879
Speaker 2: so he said they will always have something in common.

2778
02:36:42,160 --> 02:36:44,879
Speaker 2: So this is a guy whose life spans sports, pop culture.

2779
02:36:45,400 --> 02:36:49,119
Speaker 2: Rest in peace, your legacy will live forever. There's no question,

2780
02:36:49,640 --> 02:36:52,200
Speaker 2: all right, couple of big games on Sunday that I'll

2781
02:36:52,200 --> 02:36:54,560
Speaker 2: be having my on. I've got Duke wing it all.

2782
02:36:54,680 --> 02:36:57,320
Speaker 2: I think they handled Baylor. They cover the eleven and

2783
02:36:57,360 --> 02:37:00,000
Speaker 2: a half. It appears there'll be no concern about Cooper

2784
02:37:00,160 --> 02:37:03,840
Speaker 2: Flag's injury status. Baylor's got some linked at the perimeter,

2785
02:37:04,440 --> 02:37:07,200
Speaker 2: but they have one interior player that's gonna be very

2786
02:37:07,360 --> 02:37:10,840
Speaker 2: tough to get downhill against Duke. Duke's gonna get them

2787
02:37:10,879 --> 02:37:13,800
Speaker 2: out and transition and smoke Baylor. I believe Kentucky and

2788
02:37:13,840 --> 02:37:17,880
Speaker 2: Illinois that's a bit of a toss up. Believe it'll

2789
02:37:17,879 --> 02:37:21,160
Speaker 2: be low scoring. I do like Illinois, Maryland and Colorado

2790
02:37:21,160 --> 02:37:24,800
Speaker 2: State's interesting because I'm not big on Mountain West teams.

2791
02:37:24,800 --> 02:37:28,400
Speaker 2: Colorado State catching seven and a half. Some people I

2792
02:37:28,480 --> 02:37:31,760
Speaker 2: trust like Colorado State. Their fifty year senior Nick Clifford

2793
02:37:31,800 --> 02:37:34,160
Speaker 2: has emerged as one of the most impactful players of

2794
02:37:34,200 --> 02:37:36,560
Speaker 2: the country. Didn't really have a great game against Memphis,

2795
02:37:36,560 --> 02:37:39,360
Speaker 2: but his supporting cast stepped up. I think they've met,

2796
02:37:39,360 --> 02:37:42,240
Speaker 2: they meet. I don't agree with my friend. I think

2797
02:37:42,280 --> 02:37:45,959
Speaker 2: at Colorado State meets their maker against Maryland, Iowa State,

2798
02:37:45,959 --> 02:37:49,440
Speaker 2: and Old Miss. I always love I always love Chris

2799
02:37:49,440 --> 02:37:51,400
Speaker 2: Beard in the tournament, but lay in the four and

2800
02:37:51,440 --> 02:37:55,000
Speaker 2: a half. I'm not really willing to do that. The

2801
02:37:55,040 --> 02:37:58,080
Speaker 2: Cyclones have played well even without Keishawn Gilbert in their lineup,

2802
02:37:58,959 --> 02:38:02,000
Speaker 2: and so look, I like Chris Beard and No Miss,

2803
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:04,480
Speaker 2: but I'm not laying the points. Arizona and Oregon I'm

2804
02:38:04,520 --> 02:38:08,680
Speaker 2: naturally I'm working for rooting for Arnie's Arizona Wildcats are

2805
02:38:08,680 --> 02:38:12,120
Speaker 2: actually favored by three and a half points, but as

2806
02:38:12,160 --> 02:38:13,879
Speaker 2: a better you can't bet with your heart, you get

2807
02:38:13,879 --> 02:38:16,960
Speaker 2: heart disease. I do like Dana Altman, plus to three

2808
02:38:16,959 --> 02:38:19,760
Speaker 2: and a half. Anyway, slice it. By this time tomorrow,

2809
02:38:20,040 --> 02:38:22,800
Speaker 2: the final Sweet sixteen will be in place as we

2810
02:38:22,879 --> 02:38:26,000
Speaker 2: head into the following weekend, and so far, all four

2811
02:38:27,320 --> 02:38:29,520
Speaker 2: final four teams for the most people unless you had

2812
02:38:29,560 --> 02:38:33,680
Speaker 2: Saint John's, they're intact. I know my final four were attack,

2813
02:38:33,800 --> 02:38:36,199
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens by the end of the day. Scien,

2814
02:38:36,200 --> 02:38:37,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna do it for the Bernie Frattles Show. We'll

2815
02:38:37,720 --> 02:38:39,480
Speaker 2: see you next Saturday night at eleven. Keep it locked

2816
02:38:39,560 --> 02:38:42,360
Speaker 2: up next to Great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
